rename

rel.rename(:a => :x, :b => :y, ...)

Rename one or several attributes.

Example: I want the product list, but pid should be called product_id instead.

Creates a new relation identical with the input, except with any number of attributes renamed.

The specified attributes must be part of the input relation’s heading.

Consult the Overview page for the data model used in this example.

suppliers.rename(:sid => :supplier_id).to_a
=>
[{:supplier_id=>"S1", :name=>"Smith", :status=>20, :city=>"London"},
{:supplier_id=>"S2", :name=>"Jones", :status=>10, :city=>"Paris"},
{:supplier_id=>"S3", :name=>"Blake", :status=>30, :city=>"Paris"},
{:supplier_id=>"S4", :name=>"Clark", :status=>20, :city=>"London"},
{:supplier_id=>"S5", :name=>"Adams", :status=>30, :city=>"Athens"}]
SELECT `t1`.`sid` AS 'supplier_id',
`t1`.`name`,
`t1`.`status`,
`t1`.`city`
FROM `suppliers` AS 't1'
