How do I rename a database in influxdb?

Question

1. Looking through the influxdb website, documentation doesn't seem to cover some functionality that typical db commands would. Does anyone know how to move to a new name or outright rename a database inside of influxdb?
2. Does anyone have a recommendation which R package to use with influxdb?
3. Is there a way to load influx with -precision rfc3339 (human readable timestamping) automatically set within the configuration?

Answer 1

Currently renaming databases is not supported in influxDB. Discussion is going on in influxDB's github repo on the feature's need and complexity.

https://github.com/influxdata/influxdb/issues/4154

The feature was implemented and then reverted due to bugs
