According to the PG 9.1 doc

The above is the 9.4 version of the page, note the "current" in the URL.
This is the 9.1 version of the page:
http://www.postgresql.org/docs/9.1/static/sql-altertable.html
so:
ALTER TABLE name
RENAME TO new_name
this is a valid flavor of ALTER TABLE:
ALTER TABLE [ IF EXISTS ]name
RENAME TOnew_name
But when I try to execute such a command, I get:
ERROR: syntax error at or near "EXISTS"
LINE 1: ALTER TABLE IF EXISTS event
^
QUERY: ALTER TABLE IF EXISTS event
RENAME TO event_s;
CONTEXT: PL/pgSQL function "convert_table_to_history" line 60 at
EXECUTE statement
As you'll see, in this case the command was issued from a function. But
issuing it directly evokes the same error.
?!?
