RENAME GRAPH TYPE statement

The RENAME GRAPH TYPE statement renames a graph type in the schema of the current session or a specified schema.

Note

An operation involving a non-default schema or an object in it requires access to the schema, either implicitly or through an explicit USAGE grant, as well as the privilege required for the operation. The schema access check and the privilege check for the requested operation are independent; satisfying one does not satisfy the other. Schema access control does not apply to temporary graphs or built-in procedures and functions. For more information, see Schema access control.

Prerequisites

  • To rename a graph type, you must either be the owner of the graph type, be granted to perform the action ALTER on the graph type, or be granted to perform the action ALTER ANY GRAPH TYPE on the corresponding schema. For more information, see Roles and privileges.

Syntax

rename_graph_type_statement
RENAME PROPERTY GRAPH TYPE schema_reference / old_graph_type_name TO schema_reference / new_graph_type_name 

rename_graph_type_statement ::= 
    'RENAME' 'PROPERTY'? 'GRAPH TYPE' (schema_reference '/')? old_graph_type_name 'TO' (schema_reference '/')? new_graph_type_name

Parameters

schema_reference

The reference to the path of the schema. It specifies the schema path of the graph type to be renamed here.

  • Both absolute and relative schema paths can be used in the statement. If you want to change the name of the graph type that is not in the schema of the current session, you must specify the schema path. For information about setting and viewing the schema, see SESSION SET and SHOW CURRENT_SCHEMA.
  • The schema reference of the graph type cannot be changed.

old_graph_type_name

The current name of the graph type.

new_graph_type_name

The new name of the graph type.
