Rename Doctrine Migration Table Name

Question

I searched almost everywhere, but could not find anything.

Is there a command or procedure for changing the table name (so inside the annotation of the doctrine) without losing data?

Basically, something that will create something like

RENAME TABLE old_table TO new_table; 

or

 ALTER TABLE old_table RENAME new_table; 

MySQL commands taken from here

Should I manually write a migration file with doctrine:migrations:generate ?

Answer 1

• Change the table name for this object.

   /** @Entity @Table(name="new_table_name") */ class MyEntity { ... } 

• Create a new migration.

• Delete the contents of the up() and down() methods and replace them with custom SQL ( ALTER TABLE ... RENAME TO ... ).

Keep in mind that the migration generator is used as a utility / semi-automatic tool.
