Is there a way in MySQL to define an alias for a table, so in effect it has two names? For migration purposes.
What exactly do you mean by migration process ?
Do you want to take backup of older tables/databases ? There are multiple ways of doing the same : 1) use mysqldump 2) mysqlhotcopy 3) use COPY TABLE command to create duplicated tables 4) Set up replication on another server/machine for taking backup And many other ways ..
