I’m not sure why the user is forced to remember all this lack of consistency in the rename syntax. Wouldn’t it be more simple to do it like this?
update user_objects
set object_name = ‘MY_’ || object name;

The response for renaming still needs a litle work. Right it allways replies with table renamed.
