[gdal-dev] Updating shapefile "fields" name with ogr2ogr

[Emmanuel Séguin]

Hi,

This may be very easy but I did not find a way to use ogr2ogr to change 
a shapefile field (attribute) name.
I've tried something like this : ' ogr2ogr -f "ESRI Shapefile" -sql 
"ALTER TABLE CHEMIN RENAME COLUMN prec_alti TO foo" CHEMIN2.shp 
CHEMIN.shp ' but I get the following error "ERROR 6: Can't alter field 
definition on a read-only shapefile layer." (I've tried to use the 
"AlterFieldDefn=TRUE" layer option with no success whatsoever)

Thanx for any help,

Manu
