| SAS Names and Support for DBMS Names |
| Renaming SAS/ACCESS Tables |
You can rename DBMS tables and views using the CHANGE statement, as shown in the following example:
proc datasets lib=x; change oldtable=newtable; quit;
You can rename tables using this method for the following engines:
| DB2 UNIX/PC | Netezza |
| DB2 z/OS | ODBC |
| HP Neoview | OLE DB |
| Informix | Oracle |
| Microsoft SQL Server | Sybase |
| MySQL | Teradata |
Note: If you change a table name, any view that depends
on that table will no longer work unless the view references the new table
name. ![[cautionend]](../../../../common/61925/HTML/default/images/cautend.gif)
| Renaming SAS/ACCESS Columns |
You can use the RENAME statement to rename the 8-character default SAS variable names to long DBMS column names when you load the data into a DBMS table. You can also use the SAS data set option RENAME= to rename the columns after they are loaded into the DBMS.
| Renaming SAS/ACCESS Variables |
You can use the RENAME statement to specify 8-character SAS variable names such as access descriptors and view descriptors.
