Renames an existing table.

You cannot rename a temporal table if it has a system-defined single-table join index. You must first drop the system-defined join index and then rename the table. See Temporal Table Support, B035-1182 for further information.

ANSI Compliance

RENAME TABLE is a Teradata extension to the ANSI SQL:2011 standard.

Required Privileges

You must have DROP privileges on the table to be renamed, and the appropriate CREATE privileges on its containing database or user.
