我提出了一个关于服务器故障的问题，试图在使用MySQL代理恢复非常大的数据库时解决停机时间。我没有取得任何成功，但我最终意识到我想要的是RENAME DATABASE功能，因为由于数据库的大小，转储/导入不是一个选项。

MySQL有一个内置的RENAME TABLE功能，所以我最终写了一个简单的Python脚本来为我做这项工作。我把它发布在GitHub上，以防它对其他人有用。

TodoInTX的存储过程不太适合我。以下是我的尝试:

-- stored procedure rename_db: Rename a database my means of table copying.
-- Caveats: 
-- Will clobber any existing database with the same name as the 'new' database name.
-- ONLY copies tables; stored procedures and other database objects are not copied.
-- Tomer Altman (taltman@ai.sri.com)

delimiter //
DROP PROCEDURE IF EXISTS rename_db;
CREATE PROCEDURE rename_db(IN old_db VARCHAR(100), IN new_db VARCHAR(100))
BEGIN
    DECLARE current_table VARCHAR(100);
    DECLARE done INT DEFAULT 0;
    DECLARE old_tables CURSOR FOR select table_name from information_schema.tables where table_schema = old_db;
    DECLARE CONTINUE HANDLER FOR NOT FOUND SET done = 1;

    SET @output = CONCAT('DROP SCHEMA IF EXISTS ', new_db, ';'); 
    PREPARE stmt FROM @output;
    EXECUTE stmt;

    SET @output = CONCAT('CREATE SCHEMA IF NOT EXISTS ', new_db, ';');
    PREPARE stmt FROM @output;
    EXECUTE stmt;

    OPEN old_tables;
    REPEAT
        FETCH old_tables INTO current_table;
        IF NOT done THEN
        SET @output = CONCAT('alter table ', old_db, '.', current_table, ' rename ', new_db, '.', current_table, ';');
        PREPARE stmt FROM @output;
        EXECUTE stmt;

        END IF;
    UNTIL done END REPEAT;

    CLOSE old_tables;

END//
delimiter ;

这是我写的一个批处理文件，从命令行自动化，但它适用于Windows/MS-DOS。

语法:rename_mysqldb database newdatabase -u [user] -p[password]

如果你更喜欢GUI工具，并且碰巧安装了MySQL Workbench，你可以使用内置的迁移向导

我是这样做的: 对现有数据库进行备份。它将为您提供一个db.zip.tmp，然后在命令提示符中写入以下内容

"C:\Program Files (x86)\MySQL\MySQL Server 5.6\bin\ MySQL .exe localhost -u root -p[password][新数据库名]< "C:\Backups\db.zip.tmp"

对于InnoDB，下面的方法似乎是可行的:创建新的空数据库，然后依次将每个表重命名为新的数据库:

RENAME TABLE old_db.table TO new_db.table;

之后，您将需要调整权限。

对于在shell中编写脚本，您可以使用以下任何一种:

mysql -u username -ppassword old_db -sNe 'show tables' | while read table; \ 
    do mysql -u username -ppassword -sNe "rename table old_db.$table to new_db.$table"; done

OR

for table in `mysql -u root -ppassword -s -N -e "use old_db;show tables from old_db;"`; do mysql -u root -ppassword -s -N -e "use old_db;rename table old_db.$table to new_db.$table;"; done;

注:

选项-p和密码之间没有空格。如果您的数据库没有密码，请删除-u username -ppassword部分。 如果某个表有触发器，则不能使用上述方法将其移动到另一个数据库(将导致trigger in wrong schema错误)。如果是这种情况，使用传统的方法克隆一个数据库，然后删除旧的: Mysqldump old_db | mysql new_db 如果你有存储过程，你可以在之后复制它们: mysqldump -R old_db | mysql的new_db
