There's a typo in my MongoDB database name and I'm looking to rename the database.
I can copy and delete like so...
db.copyDatabase('old_name', 'new_name');
use old_name
db.dropDatabase();
Is there a command to rename a database?
You could do this:
db.copyDatabase("db_to_rename","db_renamed","localhost")
use db_to_rename
db.dropDatabase();
Editorial Note: this is the same approach used in the question itself but has proven useful to others regardless.
