<p>
The <code class="methodname">DbEnv::dbrename()</code> method renames the database specified by the
<span class="bold"><strong>file</strong></span> and <span class="bold"><strong>database</strong></span> parameters to <span class="bold"><strong>newname</strong></span>. If no <span class="bold"><strong>database</strong></span> is specified, the underlying file
represented by <span class="bold"><strong>file</strong></span> is renamed
using the value supplied to <span class="bold"><strong>newname</strong></span>,
incidentally renaming all of the databases it contained.
</p>
<p>
Applications should not rename databases that are currently in use.
If an underlying file is being renamed and logging is currently
enabled in the database environment, no database in the file may be
open when the <code class="methodname">DbEnv::dbrename()</code> method is called.
</p>
<p>
The <code class="methodname">DbEnv::dbrename()</code> <span>
<span>
method either returns a non-zero error value or throws an
exception that encapsulates a non-zero error value on
failure, and returns 0 on success.
</span>
</span>
</p>
<p>
<code class="methodname">DbEnv::dbrename()</code> is affected by any database directory specified using the
<a class="xref" href="envset_data_dir.html" title="DbEnv::set_data_dir()">DbEnv::set_data_dir()</a>
method, or by setting the <code class="literal">set_data_dir</code> string in the environment's
<a href="../../programmer_reference/env_db_config.html#env_db_config.DB_CONFIG" class="olink">DB_CONFIG</a> file.
