Lars Francke commented on HIVE-2584:
------------------------------------
This'd be great to get in to the next version. It's a major undocumented
inconsistency between {{ALTER TABLE}} and most other commands that do accept a
fully qualified name.
> Alter table should accept database name

> It would be nice if alter table accepts database name.
> For example:
> This would be more useful in certain usecases:
>
> alter table DB.Tbl set location <location>;
> rather than 2 statements.
> use DB;
> alter table Tbl set location <location>;
