Rename table transaction

Rename table transaction

Could anybody inform me how to wrap a number of rename table operations into
a transaction?


You can do this on SQL Server with

BEGIN TRANSACTION

EXECUTE sp_rename 'tableA, 'tableX'

EXECUTE sp_rename 'tableB, 'tableA'

EXECUTE sp_rename 'tableX, 'tableB'

GO

COMMIT



On Oracle rename table is DDL so rollback or commit is meaningless. However,
we need to guarantee that all commands either succeed or fail.





Thanks
