MySQL Database Deployment Strategy In Production
I am looking for ideas for a MySQL database deployment strategy in production.
My scenario is as below:
- I have a job which creates a SQL dump of bunch of static tables
- I have an existing schema in production which contains the above set of static tables along with other tables.
- I want to apply the dump created in step 1 on the production database schema
One idea would be to create the table in the dump with some postfix say _new and then swap the tables using mysql RENAME command. But I'm not sure about the issues associated with this approach mysql manual says RENAME works only if there are no transactional locks taken and also using RENAME command results in dropping of all the constraints on the new swapped table the command would look like below.
rename table foo to foo_old, foo_new to foo;
Other idea I am thinking of is if there is some feature to create schema aliases and during deployment I can create a totally new schema from the original and then point the alias to the new schema which seems less risky but not sure MySQL supports this.
Any ideas and references on this would be really helpful, thank you!
