Comment:
Collection definition can be altered elsewhere in the WebSearch Admin
interface, on the "Edit Collection" page, menu "1. Modify collection
query".
What you are referring to is the modification of the collection
translation, e.g. "English (def)". Here, "def" stands for "default
language". This is a kind of reminder that is probably not necessary and
that can be deleted.
As for changing collection name via the SQL statement you mention, it was
intentional that WebSearch Admin UI does not allow this easily, because
collection name represents actually a unique identifier and appears in
URLs like "/collection/Books". So it should be hard to change it, because
changing it means breaking persistent URLs and stuff.
(You can think of collection.name being kind of persistent identifier of
the collection, and collectionname.* as translations of the collection
name in various languages. This technique is also used for field names,
index names, etc.)
I guess I'd simply delete "(def)" after language name in the WebSearch
Admin UI to avoid confusion.
