Rename a table in MySQL using RENAME TABLE command
To rename a table in MySQL, below is the syntax −
rename table yourOldTableName to yourNewTableName ;
Let us first create a table −
mysql> create table DemoTable1
(
Id int NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT PRIMARY KEY,
UserName varchar(100),
UserAge int,
UserCountryName varchar(100)
);
Query OK, 0 rows affected (1.29 sec)
Let us check the description of the table −
mysql> desc DemoTable1;
This will produce the following output −
+-----------------+--------------+------+-----+---------+----------------+
| Field | Type | Null | Key | Default | Extra |
+-----------------+--------------+------+-----+---------+----------------+
| Id | int(11) | NO | PRI | NULL | auto_increment |
| UserName | varchar(100) | YES | | NULL | |
| UserAge | int(11) | YES | | NULL | |
| UserCountryName | varchar(100) | YES | | NULL | |
+-----------------+--------------+------+-----+---------+----------------+
4 rows in set (0.20 sec)
Now, we will rename a table in MySQL using RENAME command −
mysql> rename table DemoTable1 to DemoTable2;
Query OK, 0 rows affected (1.22 sec)
Let us check the description of the table once again −
mysql> desc DemoTable2;
This will produce the following output −
+-----------------+--------------+------+-----+---------+----------------+
| Field | Type | Null | Key | Default | Extra |
+-----------------+--------------+------+-----+---------+----------------+
| Id | int(11) | NO | PRI | NULL | auto_increment |
| UserName | varchar(100) | YES | | NULL | |
| UserAge | int(11) | YES | | NULL | |
| UserCountryName | varchar(100) | YES | | NULL | |
+-----------------+--------------+------+-----+---------+----------------+
4 rows in set (0.00 sec)
