Catalog the database and rename database

Use the uncatalog catalog of a database to rename a database. An alternative to the db2relocatedb method.

If this is an option,uncatalog the db and then catalog it with a
new alias:

 

$ db2 create db mydb
$ db2 uncatalog db mydb
$ db2 catalog db mydb as a_new_name

The database name name remains the same . The name used with the CONNECT statement changes. The application can use the new alias to connect.
