Does the spanner supports renaming of columns and tables? That would be helpful while managing schema changes along with creating a new table from an existing one in a single statement.
To change multiple column names by name and by index use rename() function of the dplyr package and to rename by just name use setnames() from data. table . From R base functionality, we have colnames() and names() functions that can be used to rename a data frame column by a single index or name.
You select the table with ALTER TABLE table_name and then write which column to rename and what to rename it to with RENAME COLUMN old_name TO new_name .
ALTER TABLE table_name RENAME TO new_table_name; Columns can be also be given new name with the use of ALTER TABLE. QUERY: Change the name of column NAME to FIRST_NAME in table Student.
You cannot rename a column or a table. Other kinds of alterations are possible, but not renaming. A work-around for renaming columns is available in this answer: Is it possible to rename columns?
