[Qgis-user] rename layer of geopackage in qgis 3.4

[Andreas Neumann]

Hi Alessandro, 

It is possible to rename tables in the DB manager. After connecting to
the Geopackage you can rename by right-clicking on the layer. I just
tried and it worked. Although it failed right after renaming to add the
renamed layer - after closing the connection and reconnecting, I could
add the layer fine. 

So it seems to work with minor glitches.
