MySQL version: mysql Ver 14.14 Distrib 5.7.20, for osx10.12 (x86_64) using EditLine wrapper
My databases:
- mydb_nov
- mydb_develop
I imported a mysql dump into a database mydb_nov. After import finishes I delete database mydb_develop and rename mydb_nov to mydb_develop. This way I can ensure to have just a few seconds downtime and do not have to wait an hour or two until I can continue developing on my php application. To be exact: I do not rename the database directly (as MySQL removed RENAME DATABASE statement), infact I rename the tables. See the script below.
For renaming the database I use a script from the folks of percona: https://www.percona.com/blog/2013/12/24/renaming-database-schema-mysql/ (at the bottom of the page, method 2).

At first everything is working as expected, but as soon as I restart my computer, foreign keys are messed up in the database.
f.e. does mydb_develop/table1/fk1 reference mydb_nov/table2/id instead of mydb_develop/table2/id. If I rename mydb_develop back to mydb_nov and then rename mydb_nov again to mydb_develop everything is fine again.
Is there some "caching" of foreign key references in MySQL? Is there another system database like information_schema which has to be updated too after renaming the database?
