Rename

Rename may refer to:

  • Rename (computing), rename of a file on a computer
  • Rename (relational algebra), unary operation in relational algebra
  • Company renaming, rename of a product
  • Name change, rename of a person
  • Geographical renaming, rename of a geographical location
Rename (C)
  1. redirect Rename (computing)
Rename (relational algebra)

In relational algebra, a rename is a unary operation written as ρ(R) where:

  • R is a relation
  • a and b are attribute names
  • b is an attribute of R

The result is identical to R except that the b attribute in all tuples is renamed to a. For an example, consider the following invocation of ρ on an Employee relation and the result of that invocation:

Employee

ρ(Employee)

Name

EmployeeId

Harry

3415

Sally

2241

EmployeeName

EmployeeId

Harry

3415

Sally

2241

Formally the semantics of the rename operator is defined as follows:

ρ(R) = { t[a/b] : t ∈ R }

where t[a/b] is defined as the tuple t with the b attribute renamed to a so that:

t[a/b] = { (c, v) ∣ (c, v) ∈ t,  c ≠ b } ∪ { (a,  t(b)) }
Rename (computing)

In computing, rename refers to the altering of a name of a file. This can be done manually by using a shell command such as ren or mv, or by using batch renaming software that can automate the renaming process.
