Rename Table script PowerDesigner

[#1]

Hi,

using DB2MVS11 (DB2 for z/OS v11) datasource. If a table will be renamed PowerDesigner is generating scripts like

...
drop table "tmp_TABLETT";
rename table TABLETT to "tmp_TABLETT";
...
insert into TABLETTSSS (C1, C2)
select C1, C2
from "tmp_TABLETT";

Searching for the definition of the rename table syntax I found
rename [table ][%OLDQUALIFIER%]%OLDTABL% to %NEWTABL%

So the %NEWTABL% will be taken from the %OLDTABL% by adding a "tmp_" prefix. Do we have the possiblity to change "tmp_" to another value and maybe restrict the length of %NEWTABL% to 15 characters in all Statements (DROP, RENAME, and INSERT)?

If I only modify %NEWTABL% variable with %[[?][-][<x>][.[-]<y>][<options>]:]<variable>% syntax only the rename table statement will be changed. Drop and Iinsert stay at "tmp_TABLETT".

Many thanks

Robert

Hi George,

the database will use "tmp_" also as prefix for internal tables, so the tables generated by PowerDesigner should not interfer with these tables. The length itself was only an additional question.
