MySQL table - change or rename MySql table name

DNS query tools - Network tools Ping - Traceroute Rename MySQL table - Change MySQL table name:

Database or website admin work sometimes asks for simple tasks like renaming a mysql table.

Say you have a mysql database named test and, inside it, you have the following 3 tables:

$ mysql -u root -ppassword test
Welcome to the MySQL monitor. Commands end with ; or g.
Your MySQL connection id is 11342
Server version: 5.0.45-log FreeBSD port: mysql-server-5.0.45_1

Type 'help;' or 'h' for help. Type 'c' to clear the buffer.

mysql> show tables;
+----------------+
| Tables_in_test |
+----------------+
| Table_test1 |
| Table_test2 |
| Table_test3 |
+----------------+
3 rows in set (0.00 sec)
mysql>

and you want to change the name of Table_test1's table into new_table. This is done by using using the mysql rename table syntax: RENAME TABLE old_table TO new_table

mysql> RENAME TABLE Table_test1 TO new_table;
Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.00 sec)

mysql> show tables;
+----------------+
| Tables_in_test |
+----------------+
| new_table |
| Table_test2 |
| Table_test3 |
+----------------+
3 rows in set (0.00 sec)

As you can see the query for changing the table's name was successful.

Rename more than one MySQL table

Renaming more than one Mysql table is very similar in structure to changing the name of only one table. This query looks like this:

RENAME TABLE this_table TO that_table, old_table TO this_table;

mysql select by Andrei at August 02nd, 2010 - 15:00
You can try:
SELECT fist_table.columnA AS something from first_table, second_table.columnA as something-else from second_table.... and so on.

Tabels , name changing by Arash at August 02nd, 2010 - 10:54

I have 2 questions :

1. Suppose we have 20 tables which all of them have got the same columns (the number of the columns and the name of the columns are all same ). How can I combine and convert all of them into a single Table.

2. Imagine we have the same case as explained above( 20 tables with same columns ), so we want to change the name of each tables to the same name which is in first row of Third column of each table.

any one have got some codes or solution for that ?

Thx
