I have have been tasked with adjusting the names of columns in a database according to a naming convention in order to promote clarity and consistency.
The database in question has numerous stored procedures performing operations on the aforementioned tables. If I change the name of a column through the design option in Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio 2008, will this change automatically be reflected in the relevant stored procedures or will it require manually adjusting column names in all the sprocs to avoid corrupting the relationships?
@Christian, my understanding is that you will have to make the changes in both places separately. So, change the column name and then change the name of the referenced column in all stored procedures from the old name to the new one.
