Edit - Stack Overflow

You are not logged in. Your edit will be placed in a queue until it is peer reviewed.

We welcome edits that make the post easier to understand and more valuable for readers. Because community members review edits, please try to make the post substantially better than how you found it, for example, by fixing grammar or adding additional resources and hyperlinks.

So there should be a system that tracks what columns you are changing and remember the mappings from old column names to the new column names.

It's worth bearing in mind that for database changes that have ambiguity (and therefore need an element of "developer intent"), a migrations-based solution is the appropriate solution. Redgate now has ReadyRoll that satisfies this versioning approach.
