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
DATABASE_NAME: (Required) The name of the database to update.
You can also set the database name using the INFLUXDB3_DATABASE_NAME environment variable.

-d | --database | The name of the database to update |
--token | Authentication token | |
--tls-ca | Path to a custom TLS certificate authority (for testing or self-signed certificates) | |
-h | --help | Print help information |
