1. A method comprising: copying data, using one or more processors associated with one or more servers, from a source database to a target database to create a mirrored set of data; limiting access to a subset of one or more selected tables in the target database; redirecting general traffic from the source database to the target database, wherein the redirection occurs for a period of time during which maintenance operations are performed on the source database, wherein redirecting general traffic comprises concurrently permitting the administrative traffic to access the source database while redirecting the general traffic from the source database to the target database by determining whether a request is related to general traffic or administrative traffic based on a device address corresponding to a request; capturing, using the one or more processors associated with the one or more servers, data modifications occurring in the target database during the period of time to be applied to the source database after the period of time; replicating, using the one or more processors associated with the one or more servers, the data modifications into the source database; and redirecting general traffic from the target database to the source database after the period of time.
