MySQL中修改库名的操作教程

MySQL在5.1引入了一个rename database操作,但在MySQL5.1.23后又不支持这个命令。可以说是一个实验性的功能,没有在生产中支持过(mysql-5.1 release在mysql-5.1.30),那么生产中我们有时为了追求完美需要改一下库名。怎么操作呢?
这里提供一个变通的方法。
1. 创建出新库名:

mysql>create database db_v2;
 
mysql>create database db_v2;

2.生成rename语句,从olddb里迁移,我这里olddb里sbtest;

mysql>select concat("rename table ",table_schema,".",table_name," to db_v2.",table_name,";") into outfile '/tmp/rename_to_db_v2.sql' from information_schema.tables where table_schema='sbtest';
 
mysql>select concat("rename table ",table_schema,".",table_name," to db_v2.",table_name,";") into outfile '/tmp/rename_to_db_v2.sql' from information_schema.tables where table_schema='sbtest';

3.执行生成的sql

mysql>source /tmp/rename_to_db_v2.sql
 
mysql>source /tmp/rename_to_db_v2.sql

就这么简单可以搞定了。
Good luck!
