access thread: Rename fields with ALTER TABLE in SQL Jet Access 2000


Message #1 by "Hervé PREVOST" <prevost.herve@f...> on Wed, 18 Jul 2001 12:54:13
Hello,

I try to rename fields with this sql instruction :

ALTER TABLE RENAME Field1 TO Field2

It doesn't run in ACCESS 2000 (syntax error)

How can i do it with an sql instruction ?

Thanks

My understanding is that Jet SQL does not support renaming fields.  If you

need to do this programmatically, you'll likely have to do it through ADO

extensions for DDL & security (ADOX).



Hope that's helpful.

Thanks a lot you for your answer.

I must use sql instructions exclusively (questions of portability).

So, i'll use a 'select into' statement.
