Rename column

Rename column

schema:scott

DROP TABLE a

CREATE TABLE a(x INTEGER);
INSERT INTO a VALUES (2);

ALTER TABLE a CHANGE x y INTEGER;
SELECT * FROM a

CREATE TABLE a(x INTEGER);
INSERT INTO a VALUES (2);

ALTER TABLE a RENAME COLUMN x TO y;
SELECT * FROM a

CREATE TABLE a(x INTEGER);
INSERT INTO a VALUES (2);

ALTER TABLE a RENAME COLUMN x TO y;
SELECT * FROM a

CREATE TABLE a(x INTEGER);
INSERT INTO a VALUES (2);
ALTER TABLE a RENAME COLUMN x TO y;

USE scott;
CREATE TABLE a(x INTEGER);
INSERT INTO a VALUES (2);

sp_rename 'a.x', 'y', 'COLUMN';
SELECT * FROM a;

Not possible

CREATE TABLE a(x INTEGER);
INSERT INTO a VALUES (2);

ALTER TABLE a RENAME COLUMN x TO y;
SELECT * FROM a

It is not possible to remove a column in SQLite.

The stored procedure sp_rename will do this.
