Hi,

Is there any way to rename a database?
I have some databases that are in upper case and some that are a mix of
upper and lower case and I want to rename them all as lowercase.
For example, I have a TEST and a TestforBlah for example. These are just
sample names.

You need to use double quotes. For example:

ALTER DATABASE "TestforBlah" RENAME TO testforblah;

Alter database rename should do the job ..

(postgres@[local]:58888)[postgres]> create database "TestForBlah";
CREATE DATABASE

(postgres@[local]:58888)[postgres]> \l "TestForBlah"
                                 List of databases
    Name     |  Owner   | Encoding |   Collate   |    Ctype    | Access privileges
-------------+----------+----------+-------------+-------------+-------------------
TestForBlah | postgres | UTF8     | en_US.UTF-8 | en_US.UTF-8 |
(1 row)

(postgres@[local]:58888)[postgres]> ALTER DATABASE "TestForBlah" RENAME TO test;
ALTER DATABASE

(postgres@[local]:58888)[postgres]> \l test
                             List of databases
Name |  Owner   | Encoding |   Collate   |    Ctype    | Access privileges
------+----------+----------+-------------+-------------+-------------------
test | postgres | UTF8     | en_US.UTF-8 | en_US.UTF-8 |
(1 row)
