正确的camelCase列名称

Question

I forget to change a column name from camel case to underscore style before creating the embedded db. Typically, I would use ALTER TABLE table_name RENAME "camelCase" TO underscore_style; to rename the offending column. However, that syntax errors out when I try to use it in this case.

I also tried to create a new column and then copy the data, but the camelCase column name prompted an error.

How can I correct my oversight?

TIA

Sorry, MonetDB[Lite] does not support renaming columns at this time. What you can do is a workaround like this, say with table foo with columns a and b . You want to rename b to c :

CREATE TABLE foo (a INTEGER, b INTEGER);
ALTER TABLE foo ADD c INTEGER;
UPDATE foo SET c=b;
ALTER TABLE foo DROP b;

One drawback here is that the column order in the table can change.
