Please help: remove prefix of exported database name?

    Hello there,

    When I backup sql database through cpanel, I get a file with name: oldaccount_database (oldaccount is name of my old host account). Now I import that file to new account, then a new prefix is added to that name and it becomes newaccount_oldaccount_database. This is very odd and after many times moving server, I get a very long name. How can I remove the prefix of exported database name?
    Thanks,

    one way is to make a sql dump from phpmyadmin, then open the .sql file and manually rename the database/tables name inside the .sql file

    after that create new database from cpanel with the name you want and import the .sql via phpmyadmin
