Smart Rename should be smarter about changing schema &table name
When renaming both the table and schema name, and a table already exists w/ the old table name but new schema name, Smart Rename errors because it does not detect this conflict and tries to first rename the table to the conflicting table name.
e.g., renaming stage.dboTable1 to dbo_stage.Table1 (and stage.Table1 already exists):EXEC sp_rename N'[stage].[dboTable1]', N'Table1', N'OBJECT' GO IF @@ERROR <> 0 SET NOEXEC ON GO ALTER SCHEMA [dbo_stage] TRANSFER [stage].[Table1] GO IF @@ERROR <> 0 SET NOEXEC ON GOwould work if script instead did this:
…ALTER SCHEMA [dbo_stage] TRANSFER [stage].[dboTable1] GO IF @@ERROR <> 0 SET NOEXEC1 vote -
Smart Rename on Service Broker Objects
Smart Rename should work on service broker objects. These objects: Message Types, Contracts, Queues and Services are all interdependent. Renaming Message Types, for example, requires the dropping of the dependent Contracts, which in turn requires the dropping of the dependent Services.
It would be great to be able to generate the relevant drop and create sql in one hit.1 vote -
auto alias for colums name

Azure SQL Database Smart Rename support
Smart rename doesn't work on Azure SQL Database without creating a SQL login to use for the task. Be nice to support connections via Active Directory Password, or any of the other Azure AD auth options.

Smart Rename auto-generate synonym
It would be incredibly useful to have Smart Rename have the option to generate a synonym that points the old name to the new one, in order to maintain functionality for any legacy applications accessing the database via those old object names.

Include MERGE statement in smart rename
When one would like to smart rename a column, the smart rename function does not update a MERGE statement. Could this be added to the smart rename feature?

Smart Rename to change case
sometimes I need to just change the casing of letters in a field name (e.g. a field has GUID and I want to make it Guid). smart rename does not allow me to change the name if the new name is exactly the same saying that a column with this name already exists.
so I change the name to GuidXXXX and then on the generated script remove the XXXX and the script runs just fine.
I think smart rename should not warn that the name exists if I am just changing casing of the name

Smart Rename should include renaming a Schema
Self explanatory... Need to right-click a user-defined schema and be able to generate a script that effects the scema rename and code within all affected objects. Would be great to add a list of additional databases in which to look for candidate objects to change: triggers, SPs, UDFs...

Bulk Smart Rename
Enhance Smart Rename to accept a list of name changes.
Even if it runs the existing smart rename and concatenates the scripts it would save a lot of data entry time versus doing each change one at a time.
You should require fully qualified names in the import data to avoid ambiguity errors.
58 votesWe’re going to be reviewing this over the next couple of months, which would be released via the SQL Prompt for Teams EAP (get in touch if you want to know more).
In the meantime please add any other information that you think would be useful.
