i am having issue renaming database on sql 2005, it says it is published and is being used by distribution. I have already confirmed that no users are connected to it and there is no Replication setup on it at the moment. How can i rename the DB without bringing it offline. Thanks
View 6 RepliesI am installing SQL Server 2005 on a couple of servers where the windows server will later be renamed. One is a default instance, and one is a named instance.
Does anyone have a procedure for this, or know any gotchas for 2005? I have done this for SQL 2000 many times, but never of 2005.
Books Online seems to say you just rename the server, and everything will be OK.
I know how to rename the server internally with sp_dropserver and sp_dropserver. It looks like you no longer have to update originating_server in msdb.dbo.sysjobs, because it was replaced by originating_server_id.
Got links?
No nubeez! Xpurts ownli pleez!!

Dear all,
I have a SQL 2005 server with named instance on a Windows 2003 Server.
We have renamed the Windows 2003 server and SQL2005 server
We follow the step from the following link below
http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms143799.aspx
and the result is good and we can select @@SERVERNAME to get the new server name.
However, when we check for the login, (sp_helpuser) with the old servername
for eg,
OLDSERVERSQLServer2005MSFTEUser$OLDSERVER$INSTANCE
How can I update these name to get the correct server name. Please kindly advise

i am trying to set up a way of renaming a table in a sp.
ive been using
exec sp_rename 'old table', 'new table'
however if i try and specify to database and owner i end up with a weired db.owm.db.own.table name in the outcome. ive tried putting using it without specifying a db name in a sp and then sched job to exec the sp but it doesnt rename, probably because it doesn know which db to look for the ld table name in. however the sched job doesnt fail?
any ideas?

Does someone know how a DTS package can be renamed ?
TIA
if my computer name is x and sql server was installed and therefore took on the default name of x, can I change the sql server name to y at a later date while the computer name remains as x? If so how do I do it?
The sp_addserver is internal recognition. But I want to connect to sql server using the new name y.
I am assuming setup needs to be run only if computer name also changes to y and this is not the case.
Any help is appreciated.

To all,
I would like to rename my SQL server. Someone suggested SQLServer and we went with it, but after some discussions with other developers we thought that this name would be a hackers delight. So now I need to rename it to something that wouldn't put a "bulls eye" on its back. Any suggestions? :-)
This machine is not in production just yet, so if I had to reinstall SQL it wouldnt' be that bad of an option.
Thnx.
