Re: Cakephp 2.x - Changing the name of a table within the schema

Not sure if it is possible using the core CakePHP schema tool.

If I was to attempt this, I would investigate what events are sent to
the before() method. If you find something that works. Then run
ClassRegistry::init('Model')->query('RENAME ...').

Take a look at how I pre-populated a user table after I created it:

I must say I religiously used the schema tool for migrations, until I
discovered the Migrations plugin by CakeDC.
