aliases - Views - Omni Docs

Maps old table names to updated table names to preserve content. This allows you to ensure Omni content that uses the table doesn’t break when the table is renamed.

Syntax

aliases: [ OLD_TABLE_NAME ]

Properties

array

An array of old table names that should map to this view.

Examples

In this example, the OLD_ORDER_ITEMS_NAME table was renamed to ORDER_ITEMS in the database. Adding the original table name to the aliases parameter in the ORDER_ITEMS.view file in Omni prevents broken content and model validation errors.

ORDER_ITEMS.view file

schema: PUBLIC
table_name: ORDER_ITEMS
primary_key_sql: [ "${order_items.id}" ]
aliases: [OLD_ORDER_ITEMS_NAME]
