Usually when you need to change the table name you will change it manually. You can also change the table using migration.
Schema::rename($currentTableName, $newTableName);
If you want to remove an existing table add the below code to migration. If you have foreign keys indexes
and uniques you won’t be able to delete them after renaming.
$table->dropForeign(['transaction_id']);
});
In such case remove the foreign keys etc first then rename yourtable.
$table->dropForeign(['transaction_id']);
});
Schema::rename('old_table', 'new_table');
Schema::table('new_table', function (Blueprint $table) {
$table->foreign('transaction_id')->references('id')->on('transactions');
