ALTER DATABASE
Applies to ✅ Open Source Edition ✅ Express Edition ✅ Professional Edition ✅ Enterprise Edition
The only property of a database that can be changed, currently, is its name. In order to alter an database's name, use:
// Renaming the database
create.alterDatabase("old_database").renameTo("new_database").execute();
Dialect support
This example using jOOQ:
alterDatabase("d").renameTo("e")
Translates to the following dialect specific expressions:
-- AURORA_POSTGRES, COCKROACHDB, POSTGRES, YUGABYTEDB ALTER DATABASE d RENAME TO e -- ACCESS, ASE, AURORA_MYSQL, BIGQUERY, DB2, DERBY, DUCKDB, EXASOL, FIREBIRD, H2, HANA, HSQLDB, INFORMIX, MARIADB, MEMSQL, -- MYSQL, ORACLE, REDSHIFT, SNOWFLAKE, SQLDATAWAREHOUSE, SQLITE, SQLSERVER, SYBASE, TERADATA, TRINO, VERTICA /* UNSUPPORTED */
(These are currently generated with jOOQ 3.19, see #10141), or translate your own on our website
IF EXISTS
A popular subclause of DDL statements that jOOQ can usually emulate, is the IF EXISTS clause:
// Renaming the database
create.alterDatabaseIfExists("old_database").renameTo("new_database").execute();
Dialect support
This example using jOOQ:
alterDatabaseIfExists("d").renameTo("e")
Translates to the following dialect specific expressions:
-- AURORA_POSTGRES, POSTGRES, YUGABYTEDB DO $$ BEGIN ALTER DATABASE d RENAME TO e; EXCEPTION WHEN SQLSTATE '3D000' THEN NULL; END $$ -- ACCESS, ASE, AURORA_MYSQL, BIGQUERY, COCKROACHDB, DB2, DERBY, DUCKDB, EXASOL, FIREBIRD, H2, HANA, HSQLDB, INFORMIX, -- MARIADB, MEMSQL, MYSQL, ORACLE, REDSHIFT, SNOWFLAKE, SQLDATAWAREHOUSE, SQLITE, SQLSERVER, SYBASE, TERADATA, TRINO, VERTICA /* UNSUPPORTED */
