How to change the table name in visual studio 2013 in design mode?

Question

I created a SQL database table in Visual Studio 2013. I want to rename it but the name property is disabled. How can I change the table name?

Answer 1

As explained here, found through "visual studio server explorer rename table", you can't.

There is a workaround: add the tables to a database diagram, rename it there and save it.

Answer 2

You can change table name in SQL Server Object Explorer in Visual Studio. Choose the table in tree and rename by right-click on the table -> rename
