Stop the server, go to the MySQL data directory and physically change
the name of the directory that corresponds to the database. Restart
MySQL server and SHOW DATABASES to see the change take effect.

I rotate tables out on a monthly basis. The way I do it is:
rename table1 to table2
If you need a new copy of table1, you can do :
create table table1 like table2
