Renaming data objects

You can rename databases, schemas, and tables.

Rename a data object by using one of the following methods:

• Double-click on the data object in the Data Definition view to open the appropriate editor.

• Right-click on the data object in either the Data Definition view or the J2EE view, and then click Rename.

Attention: If you change the name of a folder in a project that contains a database, URI references in the database-related files will cause errors in the project. If a folder is renamed, all related references in the database-related files are changed. For example, the following reference exists in a table object file (with extension .tblxmi) and the database in the project is contained in the folder named folder1:

<database href="folder1/Con1_VIDEOS.dbxmi#RDBDatabase_1"/>

If the folder name is changed to folder2 then this reference must be changed:

<database href="folder2/Con1_VIDEOS.dbxmi#RDBDatabase_1"/>
