Yes, it is possible to alter the name of a column in a PostgreSQL function using the ALTER TABLE statement. The syntax is as follows:
ALTER TABLE table_name RENAME COLUMN old_column_name TO new_column_name;
For example, if you have a function that creates a table with a column named "oldname", you can rename it to "newname" with the following code:
CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION create_table()
RETURNS VOID AS $$
BEGIN
CREATE TABLE my_table (
id SERIAL PRIMARY KEY,
old_name TEXT
);
ALTER TABLE my_table RENAME COLUMN old_name TO new_name;
END;
$$ LANGUAGE plpgsql;
