Honestly I am not a DBA and it scares me to dead, when I have to write or run MS SQL administrative level scripts. I was having too much issue with a production backup and restore because some tables were user schema based and each time on staging; I had to delete and recreate tables with right schema. Today, I finally decided to change the schema of three tables which were giving me headaches on the live site. As the tables were created with a user name schema; I couldn't delete the tables as they have live data nor I knew how to change the schema. After finding a solution on MSDN , I decided to modify and run it on the production server after some testing and review on staging. Below is the script that I have used. It is just a one-liner but it removes the hassle that was giving me too much grief over permissions and ownership. ALTER SCHEMA MyNewSchema TRANSFER oldSchema.TheTableName Happy Coding!
