Answer / shreyas

Without Importing the table into Model just change the sql
of the Table.
For Example: Initial in model the database layer Query
Subject contains as Select * From [Datasource Name].
OLDTableName
Replace with
Select * From [Datasource Name]. NeWTableName
and publish.

This is one of the method.

Second Method:

In report studio Create a sql Query and point the report to
samequery. (this is simple without importing and publishing
the pakage)
