I've setup a home automation system which logs data into influxdb. I've two measuraments taken from two variables concerning the same sensor. I would like to remove the old table and migrate old data from the old table to the new. Old table 'entity_id=node21_child04', new one 'entity_id=node21samsung_21_4'. I've following data entries in an influxdb database:

> show series;
key
---
C,domain=sensor,entity_id=node21_child04
°C,domain=sensor,entity_id=node21samsung_21_4

Looking on the content, extracting some data, I get those results: Old table:

> SELECT * FROM "autogen"."°C" WHERE ("entity_id" = 'node21samsung_21_4') AND time >= now() - 10m;
name: °C
time                V_TEMP battery_level child_id description description_str          device_str domain entity_id          friendly_name friendly_name_str  heartbeat icon_str        node_id value

New table:

name: °C
time                V_TEMP battery_level child_id description description_str          device_str domain entity_id          friendly_name friendly_name_str  heartbeat icon_str        node_id value

I would like to migrate the values from the old table to the new one. So then I can stop collecting data to the old table and can delete it. Data can be overwritten without issues. How to do that?

Thanks, Simon
