How to use sp_msforeachdb with sp_rename for changing two table names in each databases-

Question

I have around 990 databases on a single SQL server in which I want to rename two tables 'AuditEvent' and 'AuditPropertyEvent' to 'AuditEvent_Archive' and AuditPropertyEvent_Archive table.
Then I want to transfer lastest 6 months of data from now newly rename archived tables to New created Auditevent tables (Which will have same structure as old),
For doing it I tried Cursor and SP_msforeachdb as possible solutions but its not allowing me to execute 2 sp_rename statements with go inside a dynamic statement.
Please suggest any possible solutions on how to rename the 2 tables in all databases using sp_msforeachdb or cursor in a single go.

Answer 1

exec sp_msforeachdb '
USE [?]
IF EXISTS (SELECT 1 FROM ?.INFORMATION_SCHEMA.TABLES WHER TABLE_NAME = ''AuditEvent'')
EXEC sp_rename ''AuditEvent'',''AuditEvent_Archive''
IF EXISTS (SELECT 1 FROM ?.INFORMATION_SCHEMA.TABLES WHER TABLE_NAME = ''AuditPropertyEvent'')
EXEC sp_rename ''AuditPropertyEvent'',''AuditPropertyEvent_Archive''
SELECT *
INTO AuditEvent
FROM AuditEvent_Archive
WHERE datecolumn>dateadd(month,-6,getdate())
SELECT *
INTO AuditPropertyEvent
FROM AuditPropertyEvent_Archive
WHERE datecolumn >dateadd(month,-6,getdate())
