[PHP-DB] Obj : [PHP-DB] Renaming a database name...

2001-09-20 Thread Fabien ILLIDE

Hi Arief !

Well, you should use PhpMyAdmin who can do many usefull things.
Like rename, optimize, make requests etc ...
(If you're in local. Some providers refuse this.)
 http://phpmyadmin.sourceforge.net/

Or see the ALTER TABLE function in the doc.

bye
Fabien.

I don't know what database you are using, but you should be able to do
something like this with most of them.

Do a backup of the database.
Create a new database with the new name.
Restore the old database to the new database.

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

There is no command to do so.  Have you tried simply renaming the files and
sub-directory where the database files are located?

I've not tried that.
