How can we rename the database name in MySQL 5.0

Question

I am using MySQL 5.0.

I have created a database named accounts, but now I want to change the database name to FinanceAccounts.

Answer 1

MySQL kinda sucks for this. The only solid reliable solution is to use phpMyAdmin.

Login > click Scheme > click "Operations" > find "Rename database to:" > write NewName > click "Go."

As simple as that. All permissions are carried over.
