```
POST /db/table/-/rename
{
    ""name"": ""new_table_name""
}
```
If a table with that new name already exists you will get an error - unless you pass `""replace"": true` in which case that table will be dropped and replaced by the new one.


```
POST /db/table/-/rename
{
    ""name"": ""new_table_name"",
    ""replace"": true
}
```

This is useful because it allows for that atomic replacement operation: upload brand new data into a `_tmp_name` table, then atomic rename and replace after the upload has completed.","{""total_count"": 0, ""+1"": 0, ""-1"": 0, ""laugh"": 0, ""hooray"": 0, ""confused"": 0, ""heart"": 0, ""rocket"": 0, ""eyes"": 0}",1426080014,
