QuickDesk from www.ems-hitech.com seems to do well with renaming fields in
tables. It also lets you reorder them, all the while keeping your data
intact. I can't say I've ever renamed a primary key though. QuickDesk does
have it's quirks, but so far I've found it to be my favorite full-featured
design tool for Interbase. I'm using it on 2 development projects right now
and have had very little trouble with it.

But I do have to say--it is based on FIBPLUS (Free Interbase components?)
and IBO is noticeably faster. My Delphi apps run the same queries that I
design and test in QuickDesk faster than QuickDesk itself.
