Simply renaming could be dangerous.

You can do this:


mysqldump old_database_name > old_database_name.txt

mysqladmin create new_database_name

cat old_database_name.txt |mysql new_database_name

mysqladmin drop old_database_name


of course, this is only going to work if you have MySQL and
have access to the mysqladmin program. :p
