Here is what we wrote for it: CREATE PROCEDURE RenameDatabase( IN oldname CHAR (64), IN newname CHAR(64) ) BEGIN DECLARE sname CHAR(64) DEFAULT NULL; DECLARE rows INT DEFAULT 1; DECLARE total INT DEFAULT 0; CREATE DATABASE IF NOT EXISTS newname; REPEAT SELECT table_name INTO sname FROM information_schema.tables AS t WHERE t.table_schema = oldname LIMIT 1; SET rows = FOUND_ROWS(); IF rows = 1 THEN SET @scmd = CONCAT( 'RENAME TABLE ', oldname, '.', sname, ' TO ', newname, '.', sname ); PREPARE cmd FROM @scmd; EXECUTE cmd; DEALLOCATE PREPARE cmd; SET total = total + 1; END IF; UNTIL rows = 0 END REPEAT; IF total > 0 THEN SET @scmd = CONCAT( "UPDATE mysql.db SET Db = '", newname, "' WHERE Db = '", oldname, "'" ); PREPARE cmd FROM @scmd; EXECUTE cmd; SET @scmd = CONCAT( "UPDATE mysql.columns_priv SET Db = '", newname, "' WHERE Db = '", oldname, "'" ); PREPARE cmd FROM @scmd; EXECUTE cmd; DEALLOCATE PREPARE cmd; FLUSH PRIVILEGES; END IF; END; PB http://www.artfulsoftware.com - Jesse Castleberry wrote: I need to rename a database.

How to rename a database
I need to rename a database. I read somewhere that I could simply stop the MySQL database server and rename the folder that contains the data, re-start MySQL, and I'm good-to-go. However, I tried this, and while it appears to have worked initially, when I try to access one of the tables in the database, I get the error, "fccamp.activities doesn't exist". When I rename the folder back to "fccamp_dbo", it works just fine. So, how do I rename a database correctly? I'm using MySQL 5.0 in a Windows XP environment.

Rename a database
Ok so I'm using Win98, and with this all I do to rename a database is go into the MySQL folder then into Data folder and there you have all your databases in their own folders, and then to change the database name just change the folders name. It works for me. I have no idea how it's done in MySQL but that's how I do it. PS I've no idea about Unix and the like.

Re: Rename a Database?
This method will cause problems if you have entries in you mysql.db table for that database. Just make sure you correct your permissions.

Rename a Database?
I searched the archives and the manual online but could not find the answer, I believe this has been covered in the list though. Is it possible to rename a database? If not, is it possible to move/copy a table from a database to a new database? Could someone point me to the details on this? -- Chip - Before posting, please check: http://www.mysql.com/manual.php (the manual) http://lists.mysql.com/ (the list archive) To request this thread, e-mail <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To unsubscribe, e-mail <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Trouble unsubscribing?
