how to change new schema name from existing schema - Table

  • Hi,

    I want change schema name on Table.

    hwdata.DesktopSoft_Master

    to change

    dbo.DesktopSoft_Master

    I tried as below

    ALTER SCHEMA HWData TRANSFER dbo.DesktopSoft_Master;

    Error-

    Msg 15530, Level 16, State 1, Line 1

    The object with name "DesktopSoft_Master" already exists.

    Can you give me script for change new schema Object.

    Thanks

  • that error says the table already exists in the hwdata schema.

    do a quick

    select * from hwdata.DesktopSoft_Master

    select * from dbo.DesktopSoft_Master

    decide which one to keep (say dbo was the "good one"

    then drop table hwdata.DesktopSoft_Master

    and try to transfer again.
