Aws Athena - Rename column name

Question

I am trying to change a column name in an AWS Athena table. From old_name to new_name .

Normal DDL commands does not affect the table (They cannot be executed).

Is It possible to change a column name without deleting and re-creating the table from scratch ?

Answer 1

I was mistaken, Athena uses HIVE DDL syntax so the correct command is : ALTER TABLE %%table-name%% CHANGE %%old-column-name%% %%new-column-name%%<string>;

I based my answer on a hive related question .
