You are probably aware that you can rename a table using the ALTER TABLE … RENAME command.
Example:
dbadmin=> \dt test
List of tables
Schema | Name | Kind | Owner | Comment
--------+------+-------+---------+---------
public | test | table | dbadmin |
(1 row)
dbadmin=> ALTER TABLE test RENAME TO test_new;
ALTER TABLE
But you might not know that you can just as easily rename a database view using a very similar command!
Example:
dbadmin=> \dv test_view;
List of View Fields
Schema | View | Column | Type | Size
--------+-----------+--------+------+------
public | test_view | c1 | int | 8
(1 row)
dbadmin=> ALTER VIEW test_view RENAME TO test_view_new;
ALTER VIEW
Have fun!
