Maybe this helps: it allows to rename a column in the attribute table

Markus,
Yes, it would help.
Because I wanted to modify the database I looked at the db.* modules and
didn't think to look for any v.db.* modules. I know about v.to.db, but did
not consider that a strictly database manipulation would be a vector
command.
Would it be helpful (and practical) to put (in this case) a "See also:
vector commands" section at the bottom of each module category page that
would point to applicable alternatives? Perhaps even suggesint looking for
extension modules.
db.* = modules for generic database manipulation, including on tables
that are not linked to vector maps
v.db.* = modules that manipulate an attribute table of a vector map
