    • renameLivingColumn

      void renameLivingColumn(SchemaNode aNode, String columnNewName) throws OperationException
      Renames an active column of a table.

      If the table exists in several mapped modes (history, replication, relational), the change will affect all of them.

      Parameters:
      aNode - the data model node for the element to be renamed
      columnNewName - the target name for the column
      Throws:
      OperationException - if the new name cannot be assigned because of database constraints.

    • renameDisabledColumn

      void renameDisabledColumn(SchemaNode aNode, String columnNewName, String columnOldNameOrNull) throws OperationException
      Renames a disabled column of a table.

      If the table exists in several mapped modes (history, replication, relational), the change will affect all of them.

      Parameters:
      aNode - the data model node for the element to be renamed
      columnNewName - the target name for the column
      columnOldNameOrNull - This parameter can be passed as null in most cases. If a non-null parameter value is provided, it has to match the existing name for this column; this extra verification makes non-ambiguous the choice of the column to be renamed; indeed, if the element has undergone several type evolutions, it might be represented in the database by several columns with distinct names.
      Throws:
      OperationException - if the specified parameters do not map to exactly one database column, or if the new name cannot be assigned because of database constraints.
