Renaming While Attaching
Apr 26, 2007
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.

Hello all:
I need to rename my 2000 Server running an instance of SQL 2000. My question is this, will I have to reinstall SQL after the rename or will it come back up detecting the new server name. I am in a domain as a stand alone server.
Thanks.

I searched, but couldn't find anything to match what I am looking for...
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 had a table and it has certain dependecies(like stored proc.).
I rename the table and created anew one with same name.this new table did not inherited all the dependecies which it should.
To say,
I had a table TAB.I renamed it to TAB_old and made a new table with name TAB.When I go to SEM and click on 'Display Dependencies' table TAB is not showing anything whereas TAB_old is stil showing all the dependecies.I even ran Update stats and sp_updatestats.
any idea what is this going on.....
TIA

After 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!

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

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
Imports System.IO
Imports System
Imports System.Data
Imports System.Math
Imports Microsoft.SqlServer.Dts.Runtime
Public Class ScriptMain
' The execution engine calls this method when the task executes.
' To access the object model, use the Dts object. Connections, variables, events,

Dts.Events.FireInformation(0, "", "File Moved Succesfully", "", 0, True)
Catch ex As Exception
Dts.Events.FireError(1, "", "Source file or destinations does not exist", "", 0)
End Try
Dts.TaskResult = Dts.Results.Success
End Sub

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

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.

Hi all,
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?
Kind regards

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

Hello,
I have a situation where I'm coding a database upgrade utility for my current project in Java. I have to rename the current version of each table to tablename_orig and then create the new version of the table from a text file which contains a create table statement. Once the new table is created, I compare the table definitions and do a bunch of other stuff. The problem is that I don't seem to be able to find a way to rename the table through SQL. I know that in Oracle I can use a Create Synonym statement, but how can I rename tables for SQL Server? Any help would be greatly appreciated!

I'm moving a database (XYZtest) from the test server to the production server via sp_detach/sp_attach. I want the logical file names to be XYZ_data, rather than XYZtest_data, etc. I can easily rename the disk files, but how do I rename the logical file names?
Thanks,

I want to be able to rename a file in a specific folder using TSQL or a stored procedure.
More generically, I want to be able to perform file operations (i.e. renaming, copying, deleting etc.) at the OS level using TSQL.
Is there a stored procedure or other command in TSQL that facilitates this?

Hi,
My original account on the AD (Active Directory) was Usr129 and at that time I had installed MSDE on my local box - due to which my "local MSSQLServer" was also called Usr129.
Sometime back our LAN administrator renamed the accounts of all users. My new account on the AD (after this renaming) became GBUsr1177. Untill recently, my "local MSSQLServer" also appeared to have easily go through this renaming activity and thus my local installation became GBUsr1177.
Recently I started to have performance problem (on everything that I do on my local SQL installation via Enterprise manager) and I have this "feeling" that probably at the bacground it is still searching for the old SQL installation???
Can someone please guide me regarding how to get out of this (without re-installating everything).

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

I have been trying to copy it but I don't know how to copy exactly everything. Could you help me please?
Any help would be really appreciated!

I renamed a table, and now whenever I try to insert data into the table I get this error:
Invalid object name 'dbo.OldTableName'.
For the life of me I can't find anything that uses the old name. There is a trigger and a couple indexes, but as far as I can see they all use the new name?

Is there anyway to rename a column such that it reflects all columns on all reference tables, stored procedures,views, etc.,
Ex. table1 is with col1 (primary key)
table2 with col2, col1(FK--table1(col1)
if i try to rename col1 on table1 it has to rename col1 on table2 automatically.
Any help is greatly appreciated.
