Columns cannot be renamed, because the original column name is used in many places to refer to a column. You can add an alias, though. This causes to display the alias instead of the original column name.

Currently, you cannot set column alias defined by a mapping file. But maybe you can do one of these as a workaround:
- define target column names in the SQL statement as: SELECT user_id ID, user_name Name FROM ...
- run a macro (dwam) or apply a template (dwat) to define aliases for you dwar document
