How to Rename A Default Constraint on Oracle?

In Oracle, to rename a default constraint, you need to use the ALTER TABLE statement. First, identify the table and the default constraint that you want to rename. Then, use the following syntax to rename the default constraint:

ALTER TABLE table_name RENAME CONSTRAINT old_constraint_name TO new_constraint_name;

Replace table_name with the name of the table containing the default constraint, old_constraint_name with the current name of the default constraint, and new_constraint_name with the new name you want to assign to the default constraint.

After executing the ALTER TABLE statement, the default constraint will be renamed with the new name specified.

How to rename a default constraint using PL/SQL in Oracle?

To rename a default constraint using PL/SQL in Oracle, you can use the following steps:

1. Find the name of the default constraint that you want to rename. You can do this by querying the data dictionary views such as USER_CONSTRAINTS or ALL_CONSTRAINTS.
2. Once you have the name of the default constraint, you can use the ALTER TABLE statement in PL/SQL to rename it. Here is an example:

1
2
3

BEGIN
  EXECUTE IMMEDIATE 'ALTER TABLE table_name RENAME CONSTRAINT old_constraint_name TO new_constraint_name';
END;

Make sure to replace table_name, old_constraint_name, and new_constraint_name with the actual table name and constraint names that you are working with.

1. Execute the PL/SQL block to rename the default constraint.

After executing the above steps, the default constraint will be successfully renamed in Oracle using PL/SQL.

What is the syntax for renaming a default constraint on Oracle?

To rename a default constraint on Oracle, you can use the following syntax:

1
2

ALTER TABLE table_name
RENAME CONSTRAINT old_constraint_name TO new_constraint_name;

Replace table_name with the name of the table containing the default constraint, old_constraint_name with the current name of the default constraint, and new_constraint_name with the new name you want to assign to the default constraint.

How to check if a default constraint has been successfully renamed on Oracle?

To check if a default constraint has been successfully renamed in Oracle, you can query the user_constraints view. Here is a sample query that you can use to check if a default constraint has been renamed:

1
2
3

SELECT * 
FROM user_cons_columns
WHERE constraint_name = 'NEW_CONSTRAINT_NAME';

Replace 'NEW_CONSTRAINT_NAME' with the new name of the default constraint that you want to check. If the query returns a row with the new constraint name, it means that the default constraint has been successfully renamed.

You can also verify the renaming by querying the user_constraints view directly:

1
2
3

SELECT * 
FROM user_constraints
WHERE constraint_name = 'NEW_CONSTRAINT_NAME';

Again, replace 'NEW_CONSTRAINT_NAME' with the new name of the default constraint. If a row is returned, it means that the default constraint with the new name exists in the database.

These queries will help you check if a default constraint has been successfully renamed in Oracle.
