RE: [PHP] how to rename a database
Step 1: Ask this question on the MySQL mailing list. :) (Sorry, I couldn't resist) The easiest way I can think of is to use MySQLDump to dump the schema and data, delete the original database, change the output of mysqldump to reflect the new database name and pump it back into mysql. Depending on your database size, this may or may not work.

Re: [PHP] how to rename a database
Prehaps you can rename the database file in mysql/bin ie. database_name.sql to new_database_name.sql and that will work? ___ This email may contain confidential and/or privileged information for the sole use of the intended recipient.
