    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. 🙂
