Re: Renaming a sybase instance

Ahhhh, you're running in a Windoze environment, eh ...

Best bet would be to pull up regedit and do a search for OLD_DS ... and replace all occurrences with NEW_DS.

At that point you will probably have to log out (or reboot the machine) so that the registry entries 'take'.

Otherwise the rest should be the same ... sql.ini change, sp_dropserver/sp_addserver to change @@servername, etc.

You definitely do *NOT* have to do any bcp out/in of any tables.

Mark,
Every thing you said makes sense. But on windows how would
the registry entries get cleaned out?

Thanks,
