Amazon web services – How do I change the AWS RDS database name which is restored from snapshot?

I recently restored an AWS RDS database from a snapshot, and it has the same database name as the original one, which I need to change for consistency and management purposes. My research suggests that there is currently no direct way to rename an AWS RDS database.

One common workaround I found is creating a new database instance with the desired name and migrating the data, but I am looking for alternative approaches or potential solutions that might exist. I want to explore any possible methods or techniques that can help me rename an AWS RDS database without resorting to creating a new instance and migrating the data.

If there are any less conventional or niche methods or if any new AWS features have been released that could facilitate this, I would greatly appreciate any insights or guidance. Thank you in advance for your help.

    You should not have connection to the database that you plan to rename. In my example I am trying to rename test1 database to test2. I connected another database something called newdb to rename
