Click on the database, then Operations. You'll find a dialog to rename
the database.
 
Well, i was thinking of adding a "export as" feature there for this Feature request 
that will take a name and thus generated sql file will have that exported database name.
But i guess renaming it is better option.

I guess nobody ever felt the need for this. The CREATE DATABASE
statement is generated when you export at the server level.

We have hierarchy in this fashion
Server->Database->tables

Now when we have to export a table, we click on export and we expect that there will
be a CREATE TABLE statement and INSERT statement

But when we have to export a server there are just CREATE TABLE statements and
INSERT STATEMENTS. 

So, in case the user wants to export a DB named test and his target machine has no test.
In this case he would like sql file to have CREATE DATABASE test followed by tables

To achieve this he will have to go to :

server level -> click on export->select custom->select test-> export->Go

If we add one CREATE DATABASE IF NOT EXISTS at database export level, then 
his steps would be
Select test->export->Go
From the user point of view, i guess, this will be much more preferred as it has less number 
of steps.
