Postgres: Renaming relationshipsΒΆ
An existing relationship can be renamed as follows:
- Head to
Data -> [table-name] -> Relationshipsin the console - Drop the existing relationship
- Recreate the relationship with the new name
You can rename a relationship by changing the relationship name in the tables.yaml file inside the metadata directory:
- table:
schema: public
name: articles
object_relationships:
- name: author
using:
foreign_key_constraint_on: author_id
- table:
schema: public
name: authors
Apply the metadata by running:
hasura metadata apply
You can rename a relationship by using the rename_relationship metadata API:
POST /v1/query HTTP/1.1
Content-Type: application/json
X-Hasura-Role: admin
{
"type": "rename_relationship",
"args": {
"table": "articles",
"name": "article_details",
"new_name": "article_detail"
}
}
Note
You might not be allowed to drop a relationship if it has been referenced elsewhere (e.g. in a permissions rule).
In this case you will have to delete the references first, rename the relationship, and then re-add the references.
