trying to rename column

  • I have a table with a PK called '[ID]'.

    I want to rename it so that it is without brackets.

    How to do it?

    I tried two methods:

    (1)

    sp_RENAME PortfolioMapping.[ID] , ID, 'COLUMN'

    go

    getting error

    Msg 102, Level 15, State 1, Line 1

    Incorrect syntax near '.'.

    (2)

    ALTER TABLE PortfolioMapping RENAME column [ID] TO ID

    getting error

    Msg 102, Level 15, State 1, Line 1

    Incorrect syntax near 'RENAME'.

    DDL

    /****** Object: Table [dbo].[PortfolioMapping] Script Date: 6/21/2012 2:33:59 PM ******/

    SET ANSI_NULLS ON

    GO

    SET QUOTED_IDENTIFIER ON

    GO

    SET ANSI_PADDING ON

    GO

    CREATE TABLE [dbo].[PortfolioMapping](

    [[ID]]] [int] IDENTITY(1,1) NOT NULL,

    [Name] [varchar](100) NULL,

    PRIMARY KEY CLUSTERED

    (

    [[ID]]] ASC

    )WITH (PAD_INDEX = OFF, STATISTICS_NORECOMPUTE = OFF, IGNORE_DUP_KEY = OFF, ALLOW_ROW_LOCKS = ON, ALLOW_PAGE_LOCKS = ON) ON [PRIMARY]

    ) ON [PRIMARY]

    GO

    SET ANSI_PADDING OFF

    ALTER TABLE dbo.PortfolioMapping SET (LOCK_ESCALATION = TABLE)

    GO
