i've a need to change the name of a database and haven't done this before in our live server.
while the tables are myisam, i'm not inclined to rename the dirname of d1's datafiles because i'd rather not interrupt service for other databases and i'd prefer if the renaming would replicate. can i do it like this: in the application, kick users of d1 out create database d2 foreach t in d1: RENAME TABLE d1.t TO d2.t tell user to use d2 ? tom -- MySQL General Mailing List For list archives: http://lists.mysql.com/mysql To unsubscribe: http://lists.mysql.com/mysql?unsub=arch...@jab.org
