Change Schema Name Of Table In SQL

Question

Create Schema :

IF (NOT EXISTS (SELECT * FROM sys.schemas WHERE name = 'exe')) 
BEGIN
    EXEC ('CREATE SCHEMA [exe] AUTHORIZATION [dbo]')
END

ALTER Schema :

ALTER SCHEMA exe 
    TRANSFER dbo.Employees

ALTER SCHEMA NewSchema TRANSFER [OldSchema].[TableName]

I always have to use the brackets when I use the ALTER SCHEMA query in SQL, or I get an error message.

Try below

declare @sql varchar(8000), @table varchar(1000), @oldschema varchar(1000), @newschema   varchar(1000)

  set @oldschema = 'dbo'
  set @newschema = 'exe'

 while exists(select * from sys.tables where schema_name(schema_id) = @oldschema)

  begin
      select @table = name from sys.tables 
      where object_id in(select min(object_id) from sys.tables where  schema_name(schema_id)  = @oldschema)

    set @sql = 'alter schema ' + @newschema + ' transfer ' + @oldschema + '.' + @table

   exec(@sql)
 end

CREATE SCHEMA exe AUTHORIZATION [dbo]
GO

ALTER SCHEMA exe
TRANSFER dbo.Employees
GO

Through SSMS, I created a new schema by:

• Clicking the Security folder in the Object Explorer within my server,
• right clicked Schemas
• Selected "New Schema..."
• Named my new schema (exe in your case)
• Hit OK

I found this post to change the schema, but was also getting the same permissions error when trying to change to the new schema. I have several databases listed in my SSMS, so I just tried specifying the database and it worked:

USE (yourservername)  
ALTER SCHEMA exe TRANSFER dbo.Employees 

Your Code is:

FROM
 dbo.Employees
TO
 exe.Employees

I tried with this query.

ALTER SCHEMA exe TRANSFER dbo.Employees

Just write create schema exe and execute it
