rename a database under mssql 6.5?

Post by david spaisma » Tue, 18 Apr 2000 04:00:00



Hello:

I am supporting a mssql 6.5, sp 4 application.

We have set up an user acceptance server with a database that is the same as
production. However, I have been told that this database and server may be
used for applying fixes rather than user acceptance.

To avoid confusion over which database is on which server, it might be a
good idea to rename the database. I am not sure if this can be done un der
mssql 6.5?

1)Can I rename a database?

2)If so, how can I do so?

Which system tables would I use to update?

Any information you can furnish will be appreciated. THanks.

sp_renamedb

Database must be in single-user mode first, use sp_dboption.

1. compare mssql 6.5 database and mssql 7.0 database

Hello:

I am using a product from red-gate --called SQL COMPARE-- to compare two
mssql 6.5 databases. It works quite well.

However, we are planning to upgrade our core production database shortly
from mssql 6.5 to mssql 7.0 using the upgrade wizard.

I have not seen any production that can be used to ompare a mssql 6.5
databae and an mssql 7.0 database.

Does any one know of a product or utility which would permit us to do the
comparison of database objects between a mssql 6.5  and a mmsql 7.0 database
(after migration from 6.5 to 7.0)?

Any information which can be porvided would be very helpful.

THanks.

David
