MySQL-具有多个架构的数据库，其中表和列的名称不同

Question

Is there a way to have one database that can be represented with different table and column names?

I'm creating a large refactoring of an API, where it only makes sense to rename quite some table and column names in the MySQL database, but the old version of the API still needs to read and write to the existing database. The data is largely the same and the versions can easily co-exist. There is no chance to have two databases running in parallel.

The new API domain layer is fully separated from the persistance layer, but in the persistance layer, I would like to create it properly using new table and column names, instead of having to convert the names for each query.

Is there a way to represent the database structure in multiple ways - effectively making the naming variable? Can you suggest me a solution? Is there eg a way to solve this by replacing a database schema?

I would like the two versions of the API to read and write to database where tables can exist with this (below) difference in naming - but the table and data is the same.

+----------------------------+  +-------------------------+
|          old_items         |  |        new_items        |
+----+----------+------------+  +----+----------+---------+
| id | meta_key | meta_value |  | id | item_key | item_id |
+----+----------+------------+  +----+----------+---------+

The application is written in PHP.

Thanks.

Why you want to rename the column, when you can use alias when getting the column name. like

select metavalue as itemvalue from tablename

Or

Alternatively you can create two seperate tables for each your entity. That makes sense.
