Hi guys,
Is there a way to rename an existing column within a table via SQL?
(the RENAME COLUMN syntax is not supported as it seems)
There is indeed no supoort for renaming columns. So a table copy/ table recreate should be needed. Niels
and if not, can i do it via MAL?
I tried to use MAL as follows, but after i do, the DB seems to get corrupt when i try to access the specific table.
include sql; sql.init(); bat1 := sql.bind("sys","t1","Field1",0); bat.setName(bat1,"Field2"); bat.setPersistent(bat1,true); bot.commit;
Thanks & Best Regards...
