Mass Renaming

When RapTier loads a database schema it creates code names for the schema's DB elements using their SQL names. The code names are created by removing all non-valid characters from the SQL names and adding one-letter prefix if the first symbol in the resultant string is a digit.

In case your database uses names that do not follow the .NET naming conventions (SeparateWordWithCapitalLetter), you may want to modify the default code names either manually by selecting every DB element in the project tree and changing their code names or by using Mass Renamer.

Mass Renamer automatically creates the code names for DB elements using renaming rules.

To rename the DB elements using Mass Renamer perform the following steps:

• On the Project menu, choose the Mass Renamer menu item.
• Specify elements you want to rename and renaming rules.
• Click the Rename button.

For example, to remove the tbl_ prefix from the code names, check the Replace prefixes checkbox, type tbl_ to the Find what field, leave the Replace with field empty, and click the Rename button.
