Rename a database

  • This question goes out to any one who can answer 🙂

    I just want to know when we rename a database use either a alter method or a SSMS. what is the effect on the server of that ?

    meaning lets say I change a database name on a production box..

    what if we have SSIS packages running using the database name, I presume we have to change names in ssis there too.

    Will it have an effect on the client/application side with the connection to this above mentioned database?

    any insight is helpful

  • Yes, any reference to that database will have to be changed to the new name; whether in SSIS, query, connection string, etc. Best to log all connections to that database for a while and see where they are coming from and get a consolidated list before renaming.
