Enhancement to Rename Column Dialog (r7.3.4 SP1)

In a logical/physical model, if you create column names using domains, you may want to maintain a different name on the logical side (attribute) and physical side (column).

A check box has been added to the Rename Column dialog that enables you to break or maintain name inheritance between attribute and column names.

For example, in a physical model, you can drag and drop a domain into a table to create a new column. By default, a corresponding attribute is created on the logical side of the model, using the same name. To maintain a unique column name, click Rename in the Column Editor to open the Rename Column dialog, then clear the check box for "Use logical/physical name inheritance". This allows you to alter the physical name without affecting the logical name.

Note: An asterisk next to the property name indicates that the value is derived from inheritance. If you do not see the asterisk, the inheritance override check box also is not displayed, indicating that inheritance is not in effect.

This option appears in the r7.3.4 (SP1) release and later.
