MS SQL Server Interview Question:
How To Transfer an Existing Table from One Schema to Another Schema in MS SQL Server?
Submitted by: AdministratorIf you want to move an existing table from one schema to another schema, you can use the "ALTER SCHEMA ... TRANSFER ..." statement as shown in the tutorial exercise below:
-- Login with "sa"
USE GlobalGuideLineDatabase;
GO
-- Confirming that "ggl_links" is in "dbo"
SELECT t.name AS table_name, t.type_desc,
s.name AS schema_name
FROM sys.tables t, sys.schemas s
WHERE t.schema_id = s.schema_id
AND t.name = 'ggl_links';
GO
<pre>table_name type_desc schema_name
----------- ----------- ------------
ggl_links USER_TABLE dbo</pre>
-- Moving a table to a new schema
ALTER SCHEMA ggl TRANSFER ggl_links;
GO
-- Confirming that "ggl_links" is moved to "ggl"
SELECT t.name AS table_name, t.type_desc,
s.name AS schema_name
FROM sys.tables t, sys.schemas s
WHERE t.schema_id = s.schema_id
AND t.name = 'ggl_links';
GO
<pre>table_name type_desc schema_name
----------- ----------- ------------
ggl_links USER_TABLE ggl</pre>
The last query confirms that table "ggl_links" is now in schema "ggl".
