renameTable method
Changes the table
name from oldName
to the current
TableInfo.actualTableName.
After renaming a table in drift or Dart and re-running the generator, you can use renameTable in a migration step to rename the table in existing databases.
Implementation
Future<void> renameTable(TableInfo table, String oldName) async {
final context = _createContext();
context.buffer.write(switch (context.dialect) {
SqlDialect.mariadb => 'RENAME TABLE ${context.identifier(oldName)} '
'TO ${context.identifier(table.actualTableName)};',
_ => 'ALTER TABLE ${context.identifier(oldName)} '
'RENAME TO ${context.identifier(table.actualTableName)};',
});
return _issueCustomQuery(context.sql);
}
