    I didn't even know you could do that. Can I ask why you want to, please? I can't think of any problems it would cause, since your applications don't care what the names of the database files are.

    OCD, to be honest. But it has been requested of me in the past and I said I'd look into it. I've tested this on a non-used dev database with good results, but I am apprehensive to run it in Prod. Personally, I can overlook the "problem" but others won't unless I can give them good reason NOT to do this.
