Description
The RENAME TABLE command renames <sourcetablename> to <targettablename>. Either filename can be substituted with an <expC>, enclosed in round brackets, which returns a valid filename. If <targettablename> already exists, the original file is overwritten.
The <tablename1> associated files: memo (.dbt), index (.dbx) and rules (.dbd) are also renamed.
The <database>! prefix can optionally be specified for both the source and target tablenames.
Example
open database southwind rename table employees to staff close data rename table southwind!staff sw!staff rename table sw!staff southwind!employees
