If you want to move the database atomically, a RENAME TABLE statement
may have multiple clauses.
RENAME TABLE
olddb.foo to newdb.foo,
olddb.bar to newdb.bar;
Here, I hot-swap a new lookup table 'active.geo' into a live system
confident that, at any given point, some version of this table always
exists:
RENAME TABLE
active.geo to archive.geo,
standby.geo to active geo;
