Rename a table

Use the influxctl table rename command to rename a table in your InfluxDB Cloud Dedicated cluster.

After renaming a table, write and query requests using the old table name are routed to the same table.

Rename a database using the influxctl CLI

influxctl table rename 
DATABASE_NAME
CURRENT_TABLE_NAME
NEW_TABLE_NAME

Replace the following:

  • DATABASE_NAME: Name of the database the table is in
  • CURRENT_TABLE_NAME: Name of the table to change
  • NEW_TABLE_NAME: New name for the table

Renamed table retains its ID

The table ID remains the same after renaming. When you list tables, you’ll see the new name associated with the original table ID.
