T-SQL query to rename all databases in SQL Server
MSSQL, T-SQL Scripts database rename, SQL server 0
(0)
Many a times when we are working on database migration project, we migrate all user databases from old SQL Server to new SQL Server and at the end of successful migration we have to rename databases on old SQL Server to avoid unwanted access on it. If databases are very few, then it can be achieved easily by manually renaming databases. However, when number of databases are more, then it becomes cumbersome to kill the active connections first and then renaming it . In such cases, below query can be quite useful to rename all databases in one go.
Declare @DBRENAME AS VARCHAR(52)
-- Mention keyword that needs to be added at the end of DB
SET @DBRENAME='_RETIRED'
DECLARE @DBName AS VARCHAR(52)
DECLARE Cur CURSOR FOR
--List user databaes
SELECT name from
sys.databases
where database_id>4
OPEN Cur
FETCH Next FROM Cur INTO @DBName
WHILE @@FETCH_STATUS = 0
BEGIN
--Innser Cursor Start
--Kill all user connection in case open for any database
DECLARE @Spid INT
DECLARE KillProcessCur CURSOR FOR
SELECT request_session_id
FROM sys.dm_tran_locks
WHERE resource_database_id = DB_ID(@DBName)
OPEN KillProcessCur
FETCH Next FROM KillProcessCur INTO @Spid
WHILE @@FETCH_STATUS = 0
BEGIN
DECLARE @SQL VARCHAR(500)=NULL
SET @SQL='Kill ' + CAST(@Spid AS VARCHAR(5))
EXEC (@SQL)
PRINT 'ProcessID =' + CAST(@Spid AS VARCHAR(5))
+ ' killed successfull'
FETCH Next FROM KillProcessCur INTO @Spid
END
CLOSE KillProcessCur
DEALLOCATE KillProcessCur
--Inner Cursor Ends
--Outer Cursor: Rename Database
DECLARE @SQLDBRename NVARCHAR(MAX)=NULL
SET @SQLDBRename='ALTER DATABASE ['+@DBName+']
SET SINGLE_USER WITH ROLLBACK IMMEDIATE'
SET @SQLDBRename+=' EXEC sp_renamedb ['+@DBName+'],
['+@DBName+@DBRENAME+']'
SET @SQLDBRename+=' ALTER DATABASE ['+@DBName+@DBRENAME+']
SET MULTI_USER WITH ROLLBACK IMMEDIATE'
Print @SQLDBRename
EXEC (@SQLDBRename)
FETCH Next FROM Cur INTO @DBName
END
CLOSE Cur
DEALLOCATE Cur
--Get list of Databases
Select @@servername as 'Server', name as DBName
from sys.databases
where database_id>4
