Usage

## S3 method for class 'flat_table'
set_measure_names(db, name = NULL, old = NULL, new)

set_measure_names(db, name, old, new)

## S3 method for class 'star_database'

Arguments

db

A flat_table or star_database object.

name

A string, fact name.

old

A vector of names.

new

A vector of names.

Details

To rename the measures there are three possibilities: 1) give only one vector with the new names for all the measures; 2) a vector of old names and another of new names that must correspond; 3) a vector of new names whose names are the old names they replace.

Value

A flat_table or star_database object.
