Change a channelname?

I've set up a new channel, but messed up my initial channelname
as in domain.name/@channelname

I can 't seem to change this from channel settings.
Is there a way within Hubzilla?

Alternatively i could go into the database with PHPMyAdmin - if so:
Which tables would i need to look at to change the channelname?

Note: i haven't posted anything yet, nor is there any connections.

Thanks much in advance!

System: Hubzilla 8.2, Apache 2.5.56, PHP 8.1.16

In table "channel" i changed "channel_address" accordingly.

This seems to be all. Please correct, if not.

Thank you.

If you did not have any traffic yet with that channel you might be lucky and it might work. Changing channel names is not supported.

Part of the issue may be that, while you can change entries in your database, you can't change entries in other people's databases, resulting in there being confusion about who you are outside your local hub.
