Use the [`influxctl table rename` command](/influxdb3/cloud-dedicated/reference/cli/influxctl/table/rename/)to rename a table in your InfluxDB Cloud Dedicated cluster.

> [!Note]
> 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

```bash
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.
