Domanda
We are trying out access services for SharePoint and noticed that it generates its own db_<guid>
database in the SP database server. We were wondering if it is possible to rename the database or customize the naming convention.
Soluzione
Yes you can customize the naming convention.But it is not straight forward, as renaming a folder.
Below are the steps you need to follow
In SharePoint 2010 Management Shell, lets say you want to rename the configuration database which is content_db_5186280F-C5FE-4495-8096-AFD73A4C524C. Create a new database by using the following command
New-SPContentDatabase -Name SharePoint_AdminContent -WebApplication
"http://sp2010-web1:20376"
Retrieve the Id values assigned to the SharePoint Admin Content database By running the following command
Get-SPWebApplication -Identity http://sp2010-web1:20376 | Get-
SPContentDatabase| Select Id, Name, WebApplication | Format-List
3.Move the content from the currently existing database to the newly created database based on the ID that we got in step 2
Get-SPSite -ContentDatabase 46410944-32c4-4e01-8390-22b693f4fcc2
| Move-SPSite -DestinationDatabase 86d8e579-fbd8-473e-867d-58b974ee0267
- Remove the existing database by running the following command
Remove-SPContentDatabase 46410944-32c4-4e01-8390-22b693f4fcc2
Verify that we got rid of the older database run the following command
Get-SPWebApplication -Identity http://sp2010-web1:20376
| Get-SPContentDatabase | Select Id, Name, WebApplication | Format-List
