 as DBF or SQLite do not support "ALTER TABLE" command to rename columns. Due to
 this the renamed column is found as last column of the table, it's original position

 <p>
+The SQLite driver will exit with an error if the column rename involves only a change of 
+case, i.e., upper-to-lowercase, or lower-to-uppercase. The SQLite protocol considers "NAME"
+and "name" to be identical column names. In cases like these, the user should rename the original
+column to an intermediary name, then rename the intermediary to the final name.
