Hi Godmar, in direct reference to your reference, you may use the already available command   'alter database [db] [newname]' for this [1].

Thanks. I couldn't find this in the client [2]; so could you remind me again how to send this? Is it 'execute', 'query', or do I need to look up the internal code for 'alter' and write my own method? With the reorganized website, the documentation for the client/server protocol is more difficult to find.

Last year [1], the functionality to rename a database was requested. We need this functionality as well.

The option to rename the folder would require shutting down, and restarting, the BaseX server, which is not a good idea. The other alternative would be to retrieve the entire XML content of the source db, then create the target db with that content; this is wasteful and inefficient for large db.

Please add a db rename functionality to the Java client binding.

Hi, More information about the interface and protocol can be found at [1], that one should definitely go into the Wiki as well...

// Executes a command and returns the result String execute(String command)

All commands can be send with the execute method. Just: execute("alter db old new");
