Re: Renaming a field

Try :
1) first create a view with the new name for all fields you want, for all others put the old name.

   ( lets say :
   create view temp_view ("new_col_name1", "old_col2", ...)     as select * from your_table;
  )
2) create a temporary table with

    create table temp_table as select * from temp_view ; 3) now yuo can drop the view and the originaly table

   drop view temp_view;
  drop view your_table;
4)a) recreate the table ( if you are with ORACLE below 8.0 )   create table your_table as select * from temp_table;   b) or rename the table ( if you are with ORACLE 8.0 and above ).    alter table temp_table rename to your_table;
