  The SAP error message MC794 typically relates to issues encountered during the execution of database operations, specifically when renaming tables or creating views in the context of the SAP system. This error can arise due to various reasons, including database constraints, permissions, or syntax issues.
  Cause:
  
  Database Constraints: The operation may violate existing constraints, such as foreign key relationships or unique constraints.
  Permissions: The user executing the command may not have the necessary permissions to rename tables or create views in the database.
  Syntax Errors: There may be a syntax error in the SQL statement being executed.
  Existing Objects: The target name for the table or view may already exist in the database, leading to conflicts.

  Solution:
  
  Check Permissions: Ensure that the user has the necessary permissions to perform the rename or create operation.
  Review Constraints: Check for any constraints that may be violated by the operation. You may need to drop or modify constraints before proceeding.
  Verify Syntax: Review the SQL statement for any syntax errors. Ensure that the statement adheres to the database's SQL dialect.
  Check for Existing Objects: Verify that the target name for the table or view does not already exist. If it does, consider using a different name or dropping the existing object if it is no longer needed.
