# MODULE:       v.db.renamecolumn
# AUTHOR(S):    Markus Neteler
#               Converted to Python by Glynn Clements
# PURPOSE:      interface to db.execute to drop a column from the
#               attribute table connected to a given vector map
#               - Based on v.db.dropcolumn
#               - with special trick for SQLite and DBF (here the new col is
#                 added/values copied/old col deleted)
