Scorri tutte le tabelle e rinomina una colonna

Fortunatamente MySQL 8 viene fornito con una ALTER TABLE RENAME COLUMN a TO b sintassi in modo da poter scrivere una procedura memorizzata ragionevolmente semplice per farlo.

CALL rename_columns('old_data', 'hash', 'old_hash');

È più complicato in 5.7 e precedenti perché dovrai generare un ALTER TABLE CHANGE a b ... istruzione che include la definizione completa della colonna.
