Renaming an index

Renaming an index modifies the database’s schema.

To rename an index:

  2. Select a table. The Index Editor lists the indexes defined for that table.
  3. Select the index you want to rename.
  4. Choose Rename. The Index Editor prompts you for the new name.
  5. Enter the new index name, then press RETURN. You cannot use the name of an existing index. The main window of the Index Editor reappears.
  6. Choose Exit to apply the change. An alert box asking if you want to apply or undo the changes to the database, or if you want to make other changes appears.
  7. Choose Apply Changes. The main window of the Data Dictionary appears.
