Do not :crying:

It does not work
the name of the columns did not change
Of course not...it is just a select statement. It does however have all of the sql you need to execute in the first column. Run the query, select the first column, paste that into a window and it should be the rename for your tables. You will probably want to add "and so.type = 'U'" to the query so it only returns tables. You will have to manually update all of your views.
