Renaming a table is not working in MySQL
RENAME TABLE group TO member; The error message is
#1064 - You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near 'group RENAME TO member' at line 1 The query is working fine on other tables for me, but not with the table group.

Rename MySQL Database from Command Line Log into the server, and open a command line / terminal window. (If you're working remotely, connect to the server via SSH.) Replace [UserName] and [Password] with the actual credentials for the database, and replace [DB_Name] with the exact name of the database you're changing.
Any database user can easily change the name by using the RENAME TABLE and ALTER TABLE statement in Structured Query Language. The RENAME TABLE and ALTER TABLE syntax help in changing the name of the table.
group is a keyword (part of GROUP BY) in MySQL, you need to surround it with backticks to show MySQL that you want it interpreted as a table name:
RENAME TABLE `group` TO `member`; added(see comments)- Those are not single quotes.
