When a column was renamed in the Edit Table dialog, the column names referenced in column and table CHECK constraint expressions were not updated. SQLite itself rewrites them during ALTER TABLE RENAME COLUMN, but the dialog's table definition still contained the old name, so alterTable() saw a difference and recreated the table with a CHECK referring to the old, no longer existing column.

Table::renameKeyInAllConstraints() now also rewrites the column name in all CHECK expressions, leaving string literals, comments and function names alone.

See issue #1817

Sorry, something went wrong.

Uh oh!

updated. SQLite itself rewrites them during ALTER TABLE RENAME COLUMN,
but the dialog's table definition still contained the old name, so

referring to the old, no longer existing column.

all CHECK expressions, leaving string literals, comments and function
names alone.
