ssms - Rename database data file in SQL Server 2005 -
I need to rename the database data file. Is this possible through SQL Server Management Studio?
FYI, I do not have the built-in box allowed.
EDIT: I also need to change the location of the file.
Yes, you can do this, as long as you have the right to separate and re-attach the database , And as long as you physically rename files on the disk:
1) Issues these commands
ALTER DATABASE Modify your database file (NAME) = Logical_file_name, FILENAME = 'your-new-file-on- (As a DCGET commentary:' Your new file-on-disk.mdf 'should be a full file name - this includes paths - 2) Separate the database
3) Rename the file to disk
4) Re-attach the database Then
