I'm trying to change a table name in oracle. I first run this script to declare the table
CREATE TABLE CUSTOMER
(
C_ID NUMBER(6,0),
C_LAST VARCHAR2(25),
C_FIRST varchar2(25),
C_MI char(1),
C_DOB DATE,
C_ADDRESS varchar2(100),
C_CITY varchar2(35),
C_STATE char(2),
C_ZIP varchar2(10),
C_DPHONE varchar2(12),
C_EPHONE varchar2(12),
C_USERID varchar2(20),
C_PASSWORD VARCHAR2(30),
CONSTRAINT CUSTOMER_PK PRIMARY KEY(C_ID)
);
CREATE TABLE ORDER_SOURCE
(
OS_ID NUMBER(6),
OS_DESC varchar2(255),
CONSTRAINT ORDER_SOURCE_PK PRIMARY KEY(OS_ID)
);
CREATE TABLE ORDERS
(
O_ID NUMBER(6),
O_DATE DATE,
O_METHPMT varchar2(25),
C_ID NUMBER(6),
OS_ID NUMBER(6),
CONSTRAINT ORDERS_PK PRIMARY KEY(O_ID),
CONSTRAINT ORDERS_CUSTOMER_FK FOREIGN KEY(C_ID) REFERENCES CUSTOMER(C_ID),
CONSTRAINT ORDERS_ORDER_SOURCE_FK FOREIGN KEY(OS_ID) REFERENCES ORDER_SOURCE(OS_ID)
);
It runs correctly, I then try to run
alter table ORDERS
rename to ORDER;
I get this error:
Error starting at line 1 in command: alter table ORDERS rename to ORDER Error report: SQL Error: ORA-00903: invalid table name 00903. 00000 - "invalid table name" *Cause:
*Action:
Syntax "RENAME TABLE tab_old TO tab_new
" is not correct one.
Correct syntax: "RENAME tab_old TO tab_new
".
Word "TABLE" shouldn't be in the statement.
