How do you rename a MongoDB database?

by

You could do this, if you’re using MongoDB < 4.2 (ref):

db.copyDatabase("db_to_rename","db_renamed","localhost")
use db_to_rename
db.dropDatabase();

Editorial Note: this is the same approach used in the question itself but has proven useful to others regardless.
