> How to import a database from an existing Neo4j instance into Neo4j Aura using \`neo4j-admin database upload\`.

I tried uploading a `northwind.dump` using the `neo4j-admin database upload` command.

However, it uploads to `neo4j` database in Aura. Is there a way to point to a different database name instead?
