Just run:

UPDATE query_history SET database = 'new_name' WHERE database = 'old_name'
AND uid = <user_id> AND sid = <server_id>

or something like that, when the database is renamed. If another user
renames it, there's not much we can do about it (and I think drop/recreate
is likely to be more common than renaming).
