Is there a way to rename the Forms Configuration Database?

The easiest way probably would be to “detach” the existing database, rename in SQL the re-attach it. While re-attaching an existing database is possible, it seems I am unable to find any way to detach the current Forms Configuration DB.

So, what I found was this: 
 

"System.Reflection.Assembly]::LoadWithPartialName("Nintex.Forms.SharePoint")
$nfsettings = =Nintex.Forms.SharePoint.Administration.FormsSettings]::Local
$nfsettings.RemoveDatabase($false)
$nfsettings.Update($true)

after that, and an IISReset, the database is removed from SharePoint, can be renamed and then re-added using the normal `Create-NFDatabase` Cmdlet.
