使用以下几个简单的命令:

mysqldump -u username -p -v olddatabase > olddbdump.sql
mysqladmin -u username -p create newdatabase
mysql -u username -p newdatabase < olddbdump.sql

或者使用@Pablo Marin-Garcia建议的以下方法来减少I/O:

mysqladmin -u username -p create newdatabase
mysqldump -u username -v olddatabase -p | mysql -u username -p -D newdatabase

ALTER DATABASE是MySQL建议的解决方法，RENAME DATABASE被删除。

从13.1.32 RENAME数据库语法:

RENAME {DATABASE | SCHEMA} db_name TO new_db_name;

此语句是在MySQL 5.1.7中添加的，但被发现是危险的，在MySQL 5.1.23中被删除。

当您在PHPMyAdmin中重命名数据库时，它会创建一个转储，然后删除并使用新名称重新创建数据库。

这里已经有很多非常好的答案，但我没有看到PHP版本。这将在大约一秒钟内复制一个800M DB。

$oldDbName = "oldDBName";
$newDbName = "newDBName";
$oldDB     = new mysqli("localhost", "user", "pass", $oldDbName);
if($oldDB->connect_errno){
    echo "Failed to connect to MySQL: (" . $oldDB->connect_errno . ") " . $oldDB->connect_error;
    exit;
}
$newDBQuery = "CREATE DATABASE IF NOT EXISTS {$newDbName}";
$oldDB->query($newDBQuery);
$newDB = new mysqli("localhost", "user", "pass");
if($newDB->connect_errno){
    echo "Failed to connect to MySQL: (" . $newDB->connect_errno . ") " . $newDB->connect_error;
    exit;
}

$tableQuery  = "SHOW TABLES";
$tableResult = $oldDB->query($tableQuery);
$renameQuery = "RENAME TABLE\n";
while($table = $tableResult->fetch_array()){
    $tableName = $table["Tables_in_{$oldDbName}"];
    $renameQuery .= "{$oldDbName}.{$tableName} TO {$newDbName}.{$tableName},";
}
$renameQuery = substr($renameQuery, 0, strlen($renameQuery) - 1);
$newDB->query($renameQuery);

我使用以下方法重命名数据库

使用mysqldump或任何数据库工具备份文件，如heidiSQL,mysql管理员等 在某些文本编辑器中打开备份(例如backupfile.sql)文件。 搜索并替换数据库名称并保存文件。

4.恢复已编辑的sql文件

TodoInTX的存储过程不太适合我。以下是我的尝试:

-- stored procedure rename_db: Rename a database my means of table copying.
-- Caveats: 
-- Will clobber any existing database with the same name as the 'new' database name.
-- ONLY copies tables; stored procedures and other database objects are not copied.
