Subject: Feature Request: Add Support for Renaming a Database

Dear MongoDB Team,

I appreciate the great work you’ve done with MongoDB—it’s a fantastic database solution that continues to evolve and improve. However, I would like to suggest a feature that I believe would be beneficial to many users:

Feature Request: Database Rename Functionality
Currently, MongoDB does not provide a built-in method to rename a database. The workaround involves using mongodump and mongorestore, or manually copying collections, which can be cumbersome, especially for large databases.

A built-in command like renameDatabase("olddb", "newdb") would:

Simplify database management.
Reduce downtime and complexity in renaming operations.
Enhance user experience, especially for those migrating or restructuring databases.
This feature would be incredibly useful for developers, database administrators, and teams managing production environments. I would love to hear your thoughts on whether this could be considered in a future release.

Thank you for your time and for continuously improving MongoDB!

Best regards,
Yashwant K
