we have a big portal that build using SharePoint 2007 , asp.net 3.5 , SQL Server 2005 .. many developers work in it since 01/2008 and we are now doing huge analysis for current SQL Databases [not share-point DB ] to optimize and enhance it.

  • The main db have about 330 table and 1720 stored procedure (SP) created from 01/2008 till now
  • Many table names / Columns is very long and we want to short it
  • we found SP names is written in 25 format :( , some of them are very complex and also we want to rename
  • many SP parameters need to be renamed
  • one of the biggest table is Registered user table, that will be spitted in more than one table for some optimization, many columns name will be changed

I searched for the way that i can rename table names ,columns and i found SQL refactor tool but i still trying it ..

my questions :

  • Is SQl Refactor is the best tool for renaming ? or is there any other one ?
  • if i want to make it manually, is there any references or best practice for that ?
  • How can i do such changes in fast and stable way .. i search for recommendations and case studies if exist ?
