Using rename with alter in Ecto.Migrations

[Sean Callan]

Is it possible to use `rename/2` with `alter` in Ecto.Migrations?  Right now I have something like this:

def change do

  alter table(:user) do

    remove :last_name

  end

  rename table(:user), :first_name, to: :name

end

But it seems like I should be able to use `rename/2` much like `add/3` and `remove/1`:

def change do

  alter table(:user) do

    remove :last_name

    rename :first_name, to: :name

  end

end

Am I missing something?

Thanks,

Sean

I can't remember right now, but if you look in the issues tracker when rename was implemented, we had very good reasons to leave it outside of the alter block. I believe some SQL databases have their own statement for RENAME which are not part of alter table.

I see when it was originally created and when it was updated to be chain-able but there is no discussion.   I'm going through the issues and so far I haven't seen anything like you mentioned.

Thanks José
