We need to rename our server.
Example
SERVER_A renamed to SERVER_B and
SERVER_B renamed to SERVER_A
It is easy enough to change the NT box name. Other than using sp_DropServer and sp_AddServer, is there any other changes (updates) we need to make to SQL server or any system tables???
TIA,
Chris

How do you rename a SQL server?
View 2 Replies View RelatedAfter I renamed the server. Jobs that exsisted before I renamed the server are still associated with the original server name. It has associated those jobs with the original server and assumes that the original server is the MSX server. I do not have multiple instances running on the server and do not want it that way. Is there a way to change the originating server? Or remove the MSX server?
HELP!
HelloI am wondering if this is able to be done and what implications there wouldbe with SQL Server.Server1 name: Production Currently running Windows NT and SQL 7instance name is ProductionServer2 name: Test Currently running Windows 2000 andSQL 2000, instance name is Test - default installationBring the Server1 offline and rename Server 2 with the name of Production.Do we have to change the instance name in SQL now on Server 2? If so can wedo this? I didn't think you could change a instance name and had toreinstall SQL.Another Question:Can you have 2 instances of SQL with the same name but reside on differentservers?ThanksSher

I have a Windows 2003 server box running SQL 2000 and BizTalk 2006. I need to change the name of the underlying server, could anyone point me in the right direction of what I would need to change in terms of SQL and BizTalk config to make it all sit happily with this?

Do I have to re-install SQL2000 if I change the Win2000 Server name.
Thanks
I am experiencing a big problem with my prod server.I renamed my production server as my test sever (abc) and the test server to (xyz) in sql 2000.
Now, when I connect from my test server to my prod server, it does not seem to see the new server even I put the new server name. It still sees the databases what is in the test server, not the new server databases.
How can I resolve this?
Please help. Thank you all.
Greetings,
Just dotting my 'i's & crossing my 't's here - what potential ramifications
are there in the renaming (as in changing the NetBIOS name) of an SQL 6.5
server? From what I can gather, it is as simple as performing the rename,
and then doing some minor config changes afterwards (i.e. unregistering the
old server entry within SEM and re-registering the server under the new
name) The main SQL application that is installed can be configured easily
enough but I just want to make absolutely sure that there aren't any
NBName-specific entries embedded in the Registry, MASTER.dat, or anywhere
else that will cause me grief once the change is made.
I've browsed through TechNet & Books Online but haven't as yet found a nice
definitive Q-Article which describes the exact procedure & potential
ramifications.
TIA,
RM
Hello,
I just read the thread on renaming the server, and running setup. My question is how do I rerun setup? SQL 7 was installed from the Back Office cd and when I try to run setup it tells me that my SQL Server is corrupted and I need to run setup. If I run Setup from the MSSQL7 directory, it wants to "upgrade" to standard edition. What am I missing here?
Thanks,
Robin
Hello,
I read few of the archive article about this, but I would like to verify this again.
We currently have Sqlesrver 6.5 running on Intel NT 4.0.
We would like to rename the server.
Is there any problem I'll need to look out for?
I am planning to rename the Nt server and reboot.

Is it possible to rename a database in SQL Server 2000? If
not, is it possible to copy the tables and relationship diagram
from one to another? The database is new, so there are no records
to copy. I just want to rename it, because redoing the tables would
take too much energy (<----Lazy). :)

We need to move a cluster to a new data center. There is a strong preference to retain the previous SQL Virtual Name. The existing cluster has a single default instance. We understand that when you have created a SQL Server FCI that you can change the SQL Virtual Name but not the instance name. So if the current SQL Virtual Name is SQL1 then at a high level:
Build cluster at new DCInstall SQL Server FCI with a virtual name as SQLTEMP and as a the default instanceShutdown old cluster ???Rename SQLTEMP to SQL1 Since there is an existing SQL Virtual Name my concern is that we cannot simply rename SQLTEMP to SQL1. Do we need to delete the VCO from AD for SQL1 in step
I have a SQL Server 2008 R2 Cluster. I have moved a file to another drive by adding a new file on the drive, doing a shrinkfile with emptyfile. I have removed the old file and when I try to rename the new file to the old files old name, I get an error.
ALTER DATABASE mydb REMOVE FILE myfilename
Msg 5009, Level 16, State 9, Line 1
One or more files listed in the statement could not be found or could not be initialized.
ALTER DATABASE mydb
modify FILE ( NAME = temp_filename
, NEWNAME = myfilename
)
Msg 1828, Level 16, State 3, Line 4
The logical file name "myfilename" is already in use. Choose a different name.
I have completed a failover, thinking the name was being held in cache. I've also renamed to something completely different then tried to rename to the old filename.
Is there any danger with renaming the LOGICAL file names behind the database?
There are a bunch of databases that were restored copies and all of them have the same logical database file name. I'm trying to get some growth data so I want the logical files to be different (prefer them to match the actual database name) so I can more easily identify them.
For instance:
database_id name type_desc name physical_name
1 DLMdb1 ROWS DLMDB1 D:dlmdb1.mdf
1 DLMdb1 LOG DLMDB1_log E:dlmdb1.ldf
2 DLMdb2 ROWS DLMDB1 D:dlmdb2.mdf
2 DLMdb2 LOG DLMDB1_log E:dlmdb2.ldf
3 DLMdb3 ROWS DLMDB1 D:dlmdb3.mdf
3 DLMdb3 LOG DLMDB1_log E:dlmdb3.ldf
Am I safe to rename the logical names? I can't think of anything that references those logical file names that I would be breaking [backups, applications].
I installed sql server on one of my test servers, and I am eventually going to rename this server and put it into production. This server will replace one of my old servers with the same name. I was wondering if there was a way to rename the SQL Server instance after you rename your server without having to reinstall SQL Server. Thanks in advance for all the help.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI'm working on creating a new version of an existing table. I want to keep the old table around, only with a different name. In looking this up I found there's a system routine named sp_rename, which looks like it will work fine.However in thinking about this I realized that the foreign key constraints defined on the table (there's 3 of them) are likely to not be renamed, correct?
If I'm correct, then I suppose I could rename the table, then drop the 3 foreign key constraints, and create them new using different names for those foreign key constraints.
Is there a safe way to rename an NT Server with SQL 7.0 installed on it so that SQL Server still runs on it? I haven't run across a way, and I have some folks who want to do so to get all their server names standardized...

Basically, is there any way to tell DTS to create a new table each time that the backup is run? I am scheduling the backup for 1 hour intervals for 5 days, but need the databases that are backed up to be unique, so i would end up wiht 120 of them total.
Is there any way to do this through DTS? Or am I hosed?
Thanks in advance

I am using SQL Server Management Studio with SQL Server 2005. On my development SQL server, I have developers using a database named TestData. An off-site developer has sent new versions of TestData.MDF and TestData.LDF. I want to attach this new database to the same development server for testing, without overwriting the existing database in use by the developers. How can I rename this new TestData to something like TestDataNew while attaching it? I only have the MDF and LDF files.
Thanks.
Hi all,
I need to rename the Columns of a table in SQL Server 2005.
The table is consisting of nearly 200 columns and the requirement is that every column needs to be appended with a name that would be given by me.
Example:
Let the name of the table be "Applicationdata"
let it contain columns say
Name
DOB
Gender
Place
Qualification
now I need to add a code say "Appl" before every column so that after the code is run, the column names sholud be changed as
Appl_Name
Appl_DOB
Appl_Gender
Appl_Place
Appl_Qualification.
Do we have any procedure like that, if yes, please post it.
I have had a go at using a package with a script to rename and move a file and it works well by using a script task in a package with source and destination variables. See script at bottom
But in my scenario the file thst comes in every day will have a slightly different name. It will be called "System_UT_INCR_BOOKINGHEADER_20080228000000.TXT"
On the 28th Feb. The date part of the title changes everyday.
SO i need to adjust my "Source" variable which is currently just a string with a value of "C:DatafilesimportsSystem_UT_INCR_BOOKINGHEADER_20080228000000.TXT" So it will only ever look for that exact file name

The previous post regarding dependencies reminded me of another bugger I comeup with from time to time. SQL Server allows us to rename objects via asystem stored procedure (I usually use an ADP front-end that presumably callsthe same procedure), but after the rename, I find singnificant strangeness.For instance, triggers are still connected to the tables, but the trigger textstill refers to the old table name. Views and stored procedures dependent onthe table are broken, and are not fixed by even by restarting the server,though I thought the cached plans were supposed to be dumped on shut-down,then recreated on demand later.Is there some tool or technique to rename a table and automatically detect andproperly drop/rebuild dependent triggers, views, stored procedures,relationships, and anything else I'm not thinking of?Oh yeah, and there are extended properties to deal with as well, but I guessthat's intractible unless we know what client build them (e.g. Access ADP),and what it expects to be recorded there, but I suppose it would be nice tojust dump them rather than leave them there possibly corrupted from a client'spersective.

I used the wizard to create a package that loads data from Access into SQL Server 2005. I then saved the package to the File System and added to my project.
I had two connections, one for SQL and one for Access. When I rename either one, the source or destination tasks in the Data Flow task reset to the other connection and/or I get an error that the old connection ID cannot be found.
I solved by opening the dtsx in Notepad and doing a global find/replace for the connection ID's. This is a real hassle.
Hi! I'm trying to rename tables in a msde database, without succeeding. Simple question, I guess, but I can't find out how to do this. I know this doesn't work though:--- Dim connectionString As String = "server='(local)'; trusted_connection=true; database='GustafTest1'"Dim cn As System.Data.IDbConnection = New System.Data.SqlClient.SqlConnection(connectionString)Dim dbCommand As System.Data.IDbCommand = New System.Data.SqlClient.SqlCommand
cn.Open()
Dim queryString As String = "RENAME TABLE table1 TO table2" '"ALTER TABLE [table1] RENAME TO [table2]"
dbCommand.CommandText = queryString dbCommand.Connection = cndbCommand.ExecuteNonQuery()---The reason to why I want to do this is that I'm updating the information of my system, and store the new data in a temporary table during update, in case something goes wrong. If the storing goes alright, the newly loaded the old table is renamed to backup_table and the temporary table is renamed from updating_table to active_table.That is a good solution, right?Thanx,Jon Engström, Sweden
