How do you rename a MongoDB database?

Question

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\', \         


        

Answer 1

The above process is slow,you can use below method but you need to move collection by collection to another db.

use admin
db.runCommand({renameCollection: "[db_old_name].[collection_name]", to: "[db_new_name].[collection_name]"})
