MySQL手册中有介绍。

通常我只是转储数据库并用一个新名称重新导入它。这不是非常大的数据库的一个选项。重命名数据库| SCHEMA} db_name TO new_db_name做坏事,只存在于少数版本中,总的来说是个坏主意。

这需要与InnoDB一起工作,InnoDB存储的东西与MyISAM非常不同。

I posted this How do I change the database name using MySQL? today after days of head scratching and hair pulling. The solution is quite simple export a schema to a .sql file and open the file and change the database/schema name in the sql CREAT TABLE section at the top. There are three instances or more and may not be at the top of the page if multible schemas are saved to the file. It is posible to edit the entire database this way but I expect that in large databases it could be quite a pain following all instances of a table property or index.

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

这是我在Windows上写的重命名数据库的批处理脚本:

@echo off
set olddb=olddbname
set newdb=newdbname
SET count=1
SET act=mysql -uroot -e "select table_name from information_schema.tables where table_schema='%olddb%'"
mysql -uroot -e "create database %newdb%"
echo %act%
 FOR /f "tokens=*" %%G IN ('%act%') DO (
  REM echo %count%:%%G
  echo mysql -uroot -e "RENAME TABLE %olddb%.%%G to %newdb%.%%G"
  mysql -uroot -e "RENAME TABLE %olddb%.%%G to %newdb%.%%G"
  set /a count+=1
 )
mysql -uroot -e "drop database %olddb%"

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;

这是我写的一个批处理文件,从命令行自动化,但它适用于Windows/MS-DOS。

语法:rename_mysqldb database newdatabase -u [user] -p[password]
