As an alternative, if you are using WeeWX v4.5, you can just use the utility wee_database with the --rename-column <http://www.weewx.com/docs/utilities.htm#Action_--rename-column> option.
*wee_database --rename-column=old_name --to-name=new_name* This has the advantage that it directly alters the database, so it is very fast. Make a backup first.
