How to Rename a Table in Redshift

Last updated July 25, 2026 · By the SaturnSQL team

Use ALTER TABLE ... RENAME TO. Regular views bound to the table keep working, but late-binding views and application queries that use the old name will break at query time.

ALTER TABLE orders RENAME TO customer_orders;

Move to another schema

ALTER TABLE public.orders SET SCHEMA archive;

Run this in SaturnSQL
