Amazon: How to change database name in Amazon RDS MySQL?
you can rename the database using the following command but make sure to take backup first
CREATE database new_db_name;
RENAME TABLE db_name.table1 TO new_db_name, db_name.table2 TO new_db_name;
DROP database db_name;

You can pull this off using mysqldump. Here the catch: You cannot ship the data because there may be a cost associated with shipping the data.
For this example, let's says you want to rename mydb
to ourdb
STEP 01 : Create the new database
mysql> CREATE DATABASE ourdb;
STEP 02 : Get schema without the triggers
mysqldump -hrdshost -uuser -ppassword -d -t -R --skip-triggers mydb > /tmp/schema.sql
STEP 03 : Get the triggers
mysqldump -hrdshost -uuser -ppassword --skip-routines --triggers mydb > /tmp/triggers.sql
STEP 04 : Generate script to do INSERT ... SELECT
across all tables
IF THERE ARE FOREIGN KEY CONSTRAINTS
ETL_DATA_SCRIPT=/tmp/DataTransfer.sql
echo -n > ${ETL_DATA_SCRIPT}
echo "SET @OLD_CHARACTER_SET_CLIENT=@@CHARACTER_SET_CLIENT;" >> ${ETL_DATA_SCRIPT}
echo "SET @OLD_CHARACTER_SET_RESULTS=@@CHARACTER_SET_RESULTS;" >> ${ETL_DATA_SCRIPT}
echo "SET @OLD_COLLATION_CONNECTION=@@COLLATION_CONNECTION;" >> ${ETL_DATA_SCRIPT}
echo "SET NAMES utf8;" >> ${ETL_DATA_SCRIPT}
echo "SET @OLD_TIME_ZONE=@@TIME_ZONE;" >> ${ETL_DATA_SCRIPT}
echo "SET TIME_ZONE='+00:00';" >> ${ETL_DATA_SCRIPT}
echo "SET @OLD_UNIQUE_CHECKS=@@UNIQUE_CHECKS, UNIQUE_CHECKS=0;" >> ${ETL_DATA_SCRIPT}
echo "SET @OLD_FOREIGN_KEY_CHECKS=@@FOREIGN_KEY_CHECKS, FOREIGN_KEY_CHECKS=0;" >> ${ETL_DATA_SCRIPT}
echo "SET @OLD_SQL_MODE=@@SQL_MODE, SQL_MODE='NO_AUTO_VALUE_ON_ZERO';" >> ${ETL_DATA_SCRIPT}
echo "SET @OLD_SQL_NOTES=@@SQL_NOTES, SQL_NOTES=0;" >> ${ETL_DATA_SCRIPT}
echo "SET group_concat_max_len = 104857600;" >> ${ETL_DATA_SCRIPT}
SQL="SELECT CONCAT('INSERT INTO ourdb.',table_name,' SELECt * FROM mydb.',table_name,';')"
SQL="${SQL} FROM information_schema.tables WHERE table_schema='mydb'"
mysql -hrdshost -uuser -ppassword -ANe"${SQL}" >> ${ETL_DATA_SCRIPT}
IF THERE ARE NO FOREIGN KEY CONSTRAINTS
ETL_DATA_SCRIPT=/tmp/DataTransfer.sql
SQL="SELECT CONCAT('ALTER TABLE mydb.',table_name,' RENAME ourdb.',table_name,';')"
SQL="${SQL} FROM information_schema.tables WHERE table_schema='mydb'"
mysql -hrdshost -uuser -ppassword -ANe"${SQL}" > ${ETL_DATA_SCRIPT}
If there are no foreign key constraints, this should go fast.
STEP 05 : Combine the files into a single script
ETL_SCRIPT=/tmp/ETL.sql
cat /tmp/schema.sql > ${ETL_SCRIPT}
cat /tmp/DataTransfer.sql >> ${ETL_SCRIPT}
cat /tmp/triggers.sql >> ${ETL_SCRIPT}
STEP 06 : Review the script
vi -R /tmp/ETL.sql
or
less /tmp/ETL.sql
STEP 07 : Run the script
mysql -hrdshost -uuser -ppassword -Dourdb < ${ETL_SCRIPT}
STEP 08 : Make sure all the data is in the target database
You can do that
If there were no foreign key constraints, mydb should be empty and ourdb should have all the tables.
If there were foreign key constraints, make sure mydb
and ourdb
have the same number of tables and the same number of rows. Make sure all triggers present by running
SELECT COUNT(1) trigger_count,table_schema
FROM information_schema.triggers
GROUP By table_schema;
STEP 09 : Drop the Old Database Manually
mysql> DROP DATABASE mydb;
I did not include dropping the database in the script, just in case. :-)
