Hey,

I am willing to change the technical name of a module on an existing database. The operation happens in 2 steps : create a duplicate of my module with the new_named. Uninstall the old_named module.

Now, uninstalling the old_named module removes all associated fields. The new module recreates them, but of course, the tables are empty.

How could I proceed to change the technical name (module's folder name) without loosing data in the database ? (there is no change involved in the code itself) tks

You could post this tutorial right here too.

You can remove the old module from the file system, without uninstalling it.

Restart openerp-server

Then, you can add and install the renamed module: existing data will not be lost.

Thanks for the tip, this solution works. Though, it doesn't allow me to fully remove a module. Nevertheless, the fields are now declred in a new module, and data was kept intact.

I didn't try, but maybe you can simply remove the old module from the ir_module_module table

indeed, but there are many dependents on ir_module_module (ir_model_constraint, relation, dependency, etc) ... that I wouldn't interact with by hand.

Or manually set it as uninstalled?
