[Laravel 4] change column name in Migration

In Laravel 3, you can change column name in migration file. From Laravel 4, If you are using the renameColumn function in your migrations, you will need to add the doctrine/dbal dependency to your composer.json file. This package is no longer included in Laravel by default.

So, just  include "doctrine/dbal":"*", as a dependency in composer.json.
Update by running composer update:



In migration class, you can use renameColumn method like the following:

Schema::table('TABLE_NAME', function($table)
{
    $table->renameColumn('OLD_COLUMN_NAME', 'NEW_COLUMN_NAME');
});
