<blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex">Last year [1], the functionality to rename a database was requested.<br>
We need this functionality as well.<br>
<br>
The option to rename the folder would require shutting down, and<br>
restarting, the BaseX server, which is not a good idea.<br>
The other alternative would be to retrieve the entire XML content of<br>
the source db, then create the target db with that content; this is<br>
wasteful and inefficient for large db.<br>
<br>
Please add a db rename functionality to the Java client binding.<br>
