I think his 'means' is that you are a spammer.

i was just asking a problem, because i have not find any query related with my problem, because i have not find any satisfactory solution on books and google also.
The only thing i have find changing the column name of table, not table.
But sadly your and T159' s behaviour is very bad.
Also i am an old member of digit. Keep in your minds I does not support things like spamming etc.

Right click on the table name on the tree in the object explorer, click Modify, and enter the new name in the properties page.

If you have foreign key constraints or other constraints which will break relationships with other dependant tables, this will not be allowed.
