This problem is apparent (for RENAME and ALIAS) on VRM510 too  
therefore it's probably been broken for a very long time. Just because  
no customer has reported it doesn't mean it shouldn't be fixed once it  
is known (i.e., reported in the Lab). Leaving known defects in code is  
simply sloppy.

Does seem odd though. There is nothing particularly different about a  
RENAME or CREATE ALIAS versus any other SQL DDL statement so why  
should these fail when others, such as CREATE TABLE, CREATE INDEX,  
etc. work OK?

Interestingly these statements run successfully via a QM Query object-- 
even a dynamic one.
