+========================= 
+Renaming a database table
+=========================
+
+Renaming a table involves a few steps:
+
+1. Rename the table
+2. Rename dependent objects, like constraints, indexes and sequences.
+3. Create a writable view using the old name so deployed code keeps working.
+
+For example::

+| ``   ALTER TABLE IrcId RENAME TO IrcNickname;``

+| ``   --    With slony 1.2.22, renaming the primary key fails. Leave these``
