Introduction<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n

People often need to change the names of tables in a database to keep things organized or save old information. Before we understand the specific ways to change a table name in phpMyAdmin, it’s important to know the basic steps involved. Think of it like giving a name to a folder on your computer. In phpMyAdmin, it’s similar. <\/span><\/p>\n

Finally, you can use a special command (like a computer language) to actually change the name of that table. Now, let’s take a closer look at the two ways you can do this.<\/span><\/p>\n
