influxdb3 update database
The influxdb3 update database command updates an existing database in your InfluxDB 3 Core instance.

Usage
influxdb3 update database [OPTIONS] --database <DATABASE_NAME>Arguments

You can also set the database name using the INFLUXDB3_DATABASE_NAME environment variable.

--token | Authentication token | |
--tls-ca | Path to a custom TLS certificate authority (for testing or self-signed certificates) | |
