postgresqlHow do I rename a table in PostgreSQL?


Renaming a table in PostgreSQL is done using the ALTER TABLE command. This command allows you to change the name of the table as well as other properties. Here is an example of how to rename a table:

ALTER TABLE old_table_name RENAME TO new_table_name;

This command will rename the table old_table_name to new_table_name.

The command consists of the following parts:

  • ALTER TABLE - This is the command to alter the table.
  • old_table_name - This is the name of the table to be renamed.
  • RENAME TO - This clause indicates that the table is to be renamed.
  • new_table_name - This is the new name of the table.

For more information, please refer to the PostgreSQL documentation.
