any compare tool which will cater table rename script.
what i have done in my application new version is rename about 6 table.
I am use to run the AdeptSQL Diff tool to get the upgrade script.
Now I am stuck with table renaming.I have also called that table names in number of stored procedure.
Is there any tool I can generate the upgrade script with table renaming?

When we rename a table we create a VIEW with the original table / column names for any "legacy" applications - or just whilst we sort everything out.

Probably won't help for any APP that needs to Update the table, but for just Select it should make your life a little easier.

Can't help with the comparison tool though - you will probably have to tell it specifically to compare OldTableName with NewTableName.

FWIW we use unique names for all our tables AND columns THROUGHOUT the application. So if we need to rename anything then a Find & Replace will enable us to make sure we have fixed everything. We also always use the Column name as the Variable name (or a part of it) so that all such instances are found in the Global Find & Replace exercise.
