Hi,

We have few name changes in a table so I prepared alter statement with rename sent to my DBA team for pushing the changes into QA environment. The below is the comments from the DBA team.

"We generally do not use any Alter table statements to apply DDL changes as it may corrupt the data"

Can anyone explain us the above statement is valid, If yes, what are the circumstances it could corrupt the data. Any further information much useful

Regards,

Hanumath
