I use H2 in a Spring Boot application with the following h2 config:
jdbc:h2:./my-database;DB_CLOSE_DELAY=-1;DATABASE_TO_UPPER=false;MODE=mysql

I have two tables, called
read_from_here
write_to_here
with identical DDL.

The application only reads from read_from_here.
A long processing job writes new rows to the write_to_here table.
I then want to swap these tables so write_to_here is renamed to 
read_from_here.

I attempt to do this with the following query:

@Transactional
    fun swap(): Either<Throwable, Unit> = Either.catch {
        jdbcTemplate.execute("DROP TABLE IF EXISTS read_from_here; ALTER 
TABLE write_to_here RENAME TO read_from_here;")
    }

I assumed because this runs in a single transaction that the rename is 
atomic. But it appears that queries that selects from read_from_here fail 
during the swap because read_from_here no longer exists during a brief 
period.

How should I perform an atomic rename of the tables so there is no downtime?
