Not exactly a large hoop.  Also note the examples on SO should wrap the
whole thing in a transaction.

Wanting to rename a column should be a rare thing since it is so rare.  If
you are frequently renaming columns then your code will be very brittle.

Also be aware that you can "rename" columns returned from selects.  For example:

  SELECT id, eventName, date AS dateAdded  FROM table ....
