[feature request] RENAME DATABASE
From https://github.com/influxdb/influxdb/issues/828#issuecomment-83224779
e.g. RENAME DATABASE foo TO bar
Would also need to update all relevant CQs.
From discussion on https://github.com/influxdb/influxdb/pull/4291, will use this syntax: ALTER DATABASE name RENAME TO new_name
Jack, I believe the merge was reverted. @otoolep what's the status of ALTER DATABASE?
I believe we decided that we may add an alias method, but likely not an alter or rename.
The feature was reverted, a person in the community may submit a new patch at a later date, but no work planned by us right now.
Is there a workaround for this? Such as:
- Stop Influx DB
- Rename database and wal folder to reflect the new name of the database
- Start Influx DB
I guess it will not work, as it looks like meta/meta.db contains some references to my database?

Yeah, would love and need this feature for db migrations we do quite often.

I am also interested in this feature. Rename comes in handy for migration
