A client asked me to see if I could get a copy of his old web site up and 
running.  I did a restore of the backed up database onto my PC.  The 
problem is that all the table names have the name of the database prepended 
to them.

When I view the tables in SQL Server Manager, the table, "city", is named 
"abc.city", where oldabc is the name of the database from which the data 
was backed up from.  For the sake of this example, "newabc" is the database 
name I used on my own machine, to which the backup data was restored to.

So, is there an easy way to rename all those tables?

I know this is a problem because when I tested the app, it immediately 
threw an error because its cfquery statements were referring to table names 
with the database name prepended to them (ie: SELECT * FROM city, instead 
of SELECT * FROM oldabc.city).

Thanks in advance for your help.
