# Atomic {#atomic}
It is an experimental database engine, it supports non-blocking `DROP` and `RENAME TABLE` queries and atomic `EXCHANGE TABLES t1 AND t2` queries.

Creates a table with the same structure as another table. You can specify a different engine for the table. If the engine is not specified, the same engine will be used as for the `db2.name2` table.

``` sql
CREATE TABLE [IF NOT EXISTS] [db.]table_name AS table_function()

Creates a table with the structure and data returned by a [table function](../../../sql-reference/table-functions/index.md#table-functions).
``` sql
CREATE TABLE [IF NOT EXISTS] [db.]table_name ENGINE = engine AS SELECT ...

Creates a table with a structure like the result of the `SELECT` query, with the `engine` engine, and fills it with data from SELECT.

In most cases, temporary tables are not created manually, but when using external data for a query, or for distributed `(GLOBAL) IN`. For more information, see the appropriate sections
Its possible to use tables with [ENGINE = Memory](../../../engines/table-engines/special/memory.md) instead of temporary tables.
## REPLACE TABLE {#replace-table-query}
`REPLACE` query allows you to add, drop, and rename data in the tables.
!!!note "Note"
This query is supported only for [Atomic](../../../engines/database_engines/atomic.md) database engine.
If you need to reject(delete) some data from a table, you can create a new table and fill it with a `SELECT` statement that doesn't retrieve unwanted data, then rename it to old table name:
```sql
CREATE TABLE myNewTable AS myOldTable;
```
Then load data with:
```sql
INSERT INTO myNewTable SELECT * FROM myOldTable WHERE CounterID <12345;
```
Drop old table and rename:
```sql
DROP TABLE myOldTable;
RENAME TABLE myNewTable TO myOldTable;
```
Instead of above, you can use the following:
```sql
REPLACE TABLE myOldTable SELECT * FROM myOldTable WHERE CounterID <12345;
```
**Examples:**
`REPLACE` for a non-existent table will cause an error.
```sql
CREATE DATABASE base ENGINE = Atomic;
REPLACE TABLE base.t1 (n UInt64, s String) ENGINE = MergeTree ORDER BY n; -- { serverError 60 }
```
Using `REPLACE` query to change data in columns.
```sql
CREATE OR REPLACE TABLE base.t1 (n UInt64, s String) ENGINE = MergeTree ORDER BY n;
INSERT INTO base.t1 VALUES (1, 'test');
SELECT * FROM base.t1;
CREATE OR REPLACE TABLE base.t1 (n UInt64, s Nullable(String)) ENGINE = MergeTree ORDER BY n;
INSERT INTO base.t1 VALUES (2, null);
SELECT * FROM base.t1;
REPLACE TABLE base.t1 (n UInt64) ENGINE = MergeTree ORDER BY n;
INSERT INTO base.t1 VALUES (3);
SELECT * FROM base.t1;
```
```text
1 test
2 \N
