Renaming multiple tables

Question

In SQL Server, I have a database abc. In this database I have hundreds of tables. Each of these tables is called xyz.table

I want to change

Answer 1

I'm assuming You've already created the schema abc in the database.

If not you can refer here

To change the schema of all the tables in database you can use following system created msforeachtable stored procedure to rename schema of each table with alter schema.

exec sp_MSforeachtable "ALTER SCHEMA abc TRANSFER ? PRINT '? modified' "
