No, that is not possible. Note that the dependencies don't change at all. Rather, the dependencies are on the object itself, not the name of the object. So if you change the name, the dependencies don't change. You'll have to drop and re-create foreign keys, views and the like. Yours, Laurenz Albe -- Cybertec | https://www.cybertec-postgresql.com
