Renaming a column The main purpose of RENAME is to change the names of CQL-generated primary key and column names that are missing from a legacy table. The following restrictions apply to the RENAME operation: • You can only rename clustering columns, which are part of the primary key. • You cannot rename the partition key. • You can index a renamed column. • You cannot rename a column if an index has been created on it. • You cannot rename a static column, since you cannot use a static column in the table's primary key.
