简单的方法

切换到数据库目录:

cd /var/lib/mysql/

关闭MySQL…这很重要!

/etc/init.d/mysql stop

好吧，这种方法不适用于InnoDB或BDB-Databases。

重命名数据库:

mv old-name new-name

.．.或者桌子……

cd database/

mv old-name.frm new-name.frm

mv old-name.MYD new-name.MYD

mv old-name.MYI new-name.MYI

重新启动MySQL

/etc/init.d/mysql start

做……

好吧，这种方法不适用于InnoDB或BDB数据库。在这种情况下，您必须转储数据库并重新导入它。

这是我所使用的:

$ mysqldump -u root -p olddb >~/olddb.sql
$ mysql -u root -p
mysql> create database newdb;
mysql> use newdb
mysql> source ~/olddb.sql
mysql> drop database olddb;

这是一个快速生成重命名sql脚本的方法，如果你有很多表要移动。

SELECT DISTINCT CONCAT('RENAME TABLE ', t.table_schema,'.', t.table_name, ' TO ',     
t.table_schema, "_archive", '.', t.table_name, ';' ) as Rename_SQL 
FROM information_schema.tables t
WHERE table_schema='your_db_name' ;

下面是一行Bash代码片段，用于将所有表从一个模式移动到另一个模式:

history -d $((HISTCMD-1)) && mysql -udb_user -p'db_password' -Dold_schema -ABNnqre'SHOW TABLES;' | sed -e's/.*/RENAME TABLE old_schema.`&` TO new_schema.`&`;/' | mysql -udb_user -p'db_password' -Dnew_schema

开始时的history命令只是确保包含密码的MySQL命令不会保存到shell历史记录中。

确保db_user对旧模式具有读/写/删除权限，对新模式具有读/写/创建权限。

这里的大多数答案都是错误的，原因有两个:

不能只使用RENAME TABLE，因为可能存在视图和触发器。如果有触发器，RENAME TABLE将失败 如果你想“快速”(如问题中要求的)重命名一个大数据库，你不能使用mysqldump

Percona有一篇关于如何做到这一点的博客文章: https://www.percona.com/blog/2013/12/24/renaming-database-schema-mysql/

以及由西蒙·R·琼斯(Simon R Jones)发布的脚本(制作的?)我修复了在脚本中发现的一个错误。你可以在这里看到:

将它保存到一个名为rename_db的文件中，并使用chmod +x rename_db使脚本可执行，然后像。/rename_db localhost old_db new_db那样使用它

I).没有办法直接改变现有数据库的名称 但你可以透过以下步骤达到目标:- 1).创建newdb。 2).使用newdb。 3). create table table_name(select * from olddb.table_name);

通过这样做，你复制数据从表的olddb和插入那些在newdb表。给表的名称相同。

II).重命名表old_db。table_name TO new_db.table_name;
