    USE sp_rename built in function.

    Ex: 

    USE AdventureWorks;GOEXEC sp_rename 'Sales.SalesTerritory.TerritoryID', 'TerrID', 'COLUMN';GO

    Yep... then make sure that you rename the column in every stored procedure, view, UDF, foreign key, etc, that uses that column in all databases...

    RBAR is pronounced "ree-bar" and is a "Modenism" for Row-By-Agonizing-Row.
    First step towards the paradigm shift of writing Set Based code:
    ________Stop thinking about what you want to do to a ROW... think, instead, of what you want to do to a COLUMN.

    Change is inevitable... Change for the better is not.
