rename

 

 

Overview

The rename function changes the retrieval key of an object stored in the specified ObjectRepository {aGor}, without moving, resaving, or disturbing the stored object. Only the retrieval key, in the ObjectRepository index is renamed. If there is already a retrieval key with the new name, an error is returned.

Usage

The rename function is used to rename objects stored in an Object Repository. The same goal can be accomplished by retrieving the stored object, erasing the old copy, and resaving the object under the new retrieval key; but this would obviously require more time and resources than using the rename function.

 

Syntax

Expression:

(rename aGor oldKey newKey)


Arguments Name Type Description
Argument:aGorObjectRepository The ObjectRepository, whose index will be altered.
Argument:oldKeySymbol The retrieval key which is to be renamed.
Argument:newKeySymbol The new retrieval key.

Returns:

Returns true or an error.
