sqliteHow do I rename a table in SQLite?


Renaming a table in SQLite is easy and can be done with the ALTER TABLE command. The basic syntax for renaming a table is:

ALTER TABLE old_table_name
RENAME TO new_table_name;

In the above example, old_table_name is the name of the table to be renamed, and new_table_name is the new name of the table.

For example, let's say we have a table called tbl_employees and we want to rename it to tbl_staff. We can do this with the following command:

ALTER TABLE tbl_employees
RENAME TO tbl_staff;

The output of this command will be:

Table tbl_employees renamed to tbl_staff
