## DESCRIPTION

The t.rename module renames space time datasets of different types (STRDS, STVDS, STR3DS) and updates the space time dataset register entries of the registered maps.

## NOTES

Renaming of space time datasets works only for SQLite based temporal databases.

## EXAMPLE

A new vector space time dataset will be created, renamed and in the end removed

    # Create new and empty STVDS
    t.create type=stvds output=toberenamed semantictype=mean \
      title="Example to rename" \
      description="This is an example just to show how rename"

    t.rename input=toberenamed output=newname type=stvds

    t.remove input=newname type=stvds
