Description

The location of the managed table is not changing when the table is renamed.

This causes correctness issues as well like the following -

create table abc (id int);
insert into abc values (1);
rename table abc to def;
create table abc (id int); // This should be empty
insert into abc values (2);
select * from abc ; // now returns the 1 and 2, (ie the old results as well)
