Hi all, I have a dev database on a dev machine that is the same name as a database on a production server.
I would like to attach the dev database to the production server but I can't because there would be two database with the same name. I tried just renaming my dev .mdf to another name but that doesn't work., I think I need to rename the database files but I don't know how.
Can anyone tell me the solution to this problem?
Thanks
How do you rename files (database logical file names) in SQL2000???
Suppose I have the following :
logical file name filepath
myDB i:myDB.mdf
myDB_log i:myDB_log.ldf
HOW DO I RESTORED THE ABOVE TO SAME SERVER BUT AS FOLLOWS:
logical file name filepath
myDB_QA i:myDB_QA.mdf
myDB_QA_log i:myDB_QA.ldf
PLEASE ADVISE OF ANY SOLUTION (so I do not receive logical filename errors).
Thanks very much

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?
ummm. sorry, I've read and seen the tutorials but somehow and missing this.
I have a foreach container. Inside a dataflow task, with an XML source, a data conversion (cause of urrr UNICODE) and and an ole DB data source.
By design (and for this simple example), I get a volation if I attempt to load loads with out deleting entries from my table. No biggie, I would just like this simple package to rename my file to extension .good or .bad depending on success of each loop.
Where and what do I need for this?
Thank you for any help or information!
Can anyone suggest a quick and easy way to rename a database AND .MDF/.LDF file in SQL Server?
I can not, for the life of me, figure out a way to do this.
Help?
Hello,
I have created a complete database with its tables, views, procedures, everything in SQL Server for a system. Now I am creating another system and I have realised that I can use almost the same fields I have and only do small changes, therefore I want to copy the existing one and rename it
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!
Thank you
Gloria

In order to move from one data center to another, I am planning to use log shipping.
Lets say,
Current Data center - DC1
Current Server- S1
Current Database- DB1
New Data Center -DC2
New Server -S2
Now, on the New Server S2, I already restored DB1 as DB1 for QA testing. QA has to do some testing before we move from DC1 to DC2. In the mean time, I need to start log shipping from S1 to S2, so that we can fail-over to S2. Now since DB1 database is already present on S2, I can not use the same name. I will have to use some other name (say DB1_New).
I can not wait for QA to finish their testing. I have to start log shipping before that. When QA is done, I will delete the DB1.
So for this log shipping, -
Primary - S1- DB1
Secondary - S2 DB1_New
So when we fail-over, we will have the database name as DB1_New. But all the apps use the name DB1. So I will have to rename the database as DB1.
So want to know, will this renaming the database (DB1_New to DB1) cause any issues?
Anyone had similar experience?
Thanks
Is there a way to rename the logical file for a database. For example, if I am moving a development database into production, I can use backup - but the backup takes the logical file names of the database and puts it into my production server. Now I have a production database with "dev_data1" for a logical file.....Can I change that name....?
Thanks!

This is a cross posting with:
http://www.sqlteam.com/forums/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=33143
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). :)

If I run an ALTER DATABASE command that renames the Logical file name of a database, will I run into any unseen consequences in terms of day to day use of the database?
View 4 Replies View RelatedHi all,
I downloaded and ran AdventureWorks.msi into my SQL Server Management Studio Express (SSMSE) one year ago.But I did not know how to attach it to my SSMSE then. Last week, I deleted it from the "Add or Remove" of Control Panel and I downloaded the new AdventureWork.msi and installed it my SSMSE. Today, I tried to use the Database Explorer of VB 2005 Express for the first Stored Procedure programming. I clicked on AdventureWorks.mdf and I got the following error: One or more files do not match the primary of the database. If you are attempting to attach a database, retry the operation with the correct files. If this is an existing database, the file may be corrupt and should be restored from a backup. Cannot open user default database. Login failed. Login failed for user 'CENADe1enxshc'. Log file 'C:Program FilesMicrosoft SQL ServerMSSQL.1MSSQLDataAdventureWorks_Data_log.ldf' does not match the primary file. It may be from a different database of the log may have been rebuilt previously. Please help and advise me how to correct this problem.
Thanks,

Hi all (newbie @ asp.net)(oldie @ ASP 3)What is the purpose of using an attached MDF database files in the App_Data folder on a web site as to importing it into the SQL server directly or creating it on the SQL server. Does a mdf database attached file purely use the SQL server as a connection interface.Is it something similiar to DSN(ODBC) Connections for ms access databases.

Thank you very much for your kind attention.
I am trying to modify the files path (primary file, log file) of databases, but it looks like I am not able to mofidy their files path directly from the database property dialogue? Would please any experts here give me some ideas on what else can I try to figure it out? Thanks a lot in advance and I am looking forward to hearing from you shortly.
With best regards,
Yours sincerely,
I have a client that has POS software called Restaurant Pro Express (RPE) from [URL] ...
Their old POS computer had a hardware failure, but I was able to attach the hard-drive to another computer and recover the data. RPE uses a MSSQL database system. However, my client doesn't seem to make backups very often
- the last one is dated January 5, 2015. I was able to copy the C:Program FilesMicrosoft SQL Server folder over which contained the instance as well as all the data files - and has up-to-date information. The instance in the recovered Microsoft SQL Server folder was called MSSQL.1. I installed the RPE software on their new computer, and it too now has an instance called MSSQL10_50.PCAMERICA. The new computer is using MSSQL 2008 R2, while I believe the old computer would have been using MSSQL 2005.
I am no DBA expert, especially when it comes to MSSQL. Is is possible to 'restore' the database from the 'raw' .mdf and .ldf files of the old computer to the new computer / database instance? If so, how should I proceed?
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.
Hi,
I need to restore a database to different server.
Orignal .mdf is 16 G, Now on the new serever I have 16 G adn 12 G of drive space available.
Is there a way i can split the data of 1 mdf over to 2 or 3 data files on the new server ?
Thanks in advance.
:confused:
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
Is it possible to rename a DTS package ??

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!
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,

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

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
View 2 Replies View RelatedThe 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.
