Can we rename the default neo4j database in Aura instances?

All Neo4j Aura instances come with two databases - a default database called 'neo4j' for user data and a 'system' database for holding system data and metadata.

It is currently not possible to rename the neo4j database in Aura instances or create a new database with a different name.

To avoid timeout errors during the discovery process for the default database, specify it in the driver definition using "driver.session({ database: "neo4j" })". This will bypass the need for the driver to go through the discovery process and look up the routing table.

Please note that the name of the Aura instance itself can be modified at creation or later from the Aura Console.
