Rename SQL Server Database:
Change the Database to Single User Mode and Rollback all the existing Transactions.
This is done because you need to obtain Exclusive Database Lock.
That way you don’t encounter errors related to obtaining database lock.
Rename the Database and then Turn on Multi User Accessibility.
USE master; GO ALTER DATABASE NMPortal SET SINGLE_USER WITH ROLLBACK IMMEDIATE; GO USE master; GO ALTER DATABASE NMPortal Modify Name = NMPortal_Backup; GO ALTER DATABASE NMPortal_Backup SET MULTI_USER; GO
