 Description   

I'm not sure but it seems that there is no actual way to rename a collection nor run an admin command.

`db.getCollection('my-col').renameCollection("my-col-renamed")`
or
`db.adminCommand(

{ renameCollection: "test.orders", to: "test.orders2014" }

)`

I can't find any `RunAdminCommand` in the Go-Driver code.

Can someone confirm that this feature is not available yet ?

Hi @ian.whalen,

I already tried to rename a collection through the `runCommand` but did not get to make it work as the mongodb command looks like this `db.adminCommand(

{ renameCollection: "test.orders", to: "test.orders2014" }

)`.

Have you got any example to show me ?

Hey rmasclef you can just use database.runCommand() to rename collections, but we do not have a dedicated admin command or renameCollection helper.
