How do I rename a foreign key in mysql?

Question

We\'ve just completed a long-running migration on a large table, and ended up with the following constraint on our conversation_tags table:

CONSTRAINT `conve         


        

Answer 1

Please refer to my answer in MySQL terminology "constraints" vs "foreign keys" difference? to understand why the constraint name was different than what you desired. However, MySQL doesnot have rename constraint feature and hence need to DROP and ADD FK with desired name . https://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.5/en/alter-table.html
