I need to script (t-sql) renaming 3 indexes in a production data warehouse.
These 3 indexes are single column indexes that are on top of foreign key columns, i.e. Index 1 = Foreign Key 1.
What is the best way to rename these indexes via a script?
*What “gotchas” do I have to be weary of?
I’m aware of sp_rename, is this advisable, or should I drop and re-create the indexes with the new name (time isn’t an issue)?
sp_rename will work fine and shouldn’t break anything unless you have queries somewhere that reference the current name(s) in a query hint.
