Renaming Storage Buckets and Tables

An option to rename buckets and tables was one of the most requested features on our wishlist. It is very useful when you want to name your bucket by its contents (e.g., "email-orders") rather than "in.c-keboola-ex-gmail-587163382".

From now on, you'll be able to change the names of buckets and tables.

Rename Bucket

To rename a bucket, navigate to the bucket detail page, and click the pen icon next to the name parameter.

Then choose the name of your preference (there are some limitations though).

Rename Table

To rename a table, navigate to the table detail page, and click the pen icon next to the name parameter.

Then choose the name of your preference (the same limitations apply).

Consequent Changes

Despite the fact that adding the option to rename a bucket or a table does not look like a very big deal, we had to make some substantial changes under the hood. Some of the consequences are worth mentioning here:

Hidden "c-" prefix

We no longer show the "c-" prefix in the names of buckets and tables. It is still a part of the bucket and table ID, but the ID is no longer displayed in most cases. If you need to access the ID for some reason, it is still available on the detail page of each bucket and table.

This is an example of how buckets and tables are displayed without the "c-" prefix:

Stage Selector

When searching for a specific bucket or table, just select a stage and the buckets will be filtered by the selected stage.
