you can use ALTER TABLE -- alter the table to add a new column, run an UPDATE to set the new column equal to the old one, then alter the table again to drop the old column

or, just use sp_rename

nope, sorry, i can't help you on that one

i would never create separate tables for separate clients

what you need involves searching the system tables (or information_schema tables)

good luck
