I've got 2 databases, prod and prod_qa. Whoever setup these databases are using the same Filenames for both. I have verified this by right clicking on each DB and looking at the properties. The location says a different filename, ie. there is a prod_data.mdf and prod_qa_data.mdf BUT in the File Name, both DB's are using prod_data and prod_log?I didn't think this was possible. How can I correct this so prod is using prod_data and Prod_log, AND prod_qa is using prod_qa_data and prod_qa_log. |

It's the physical file name that matters, not the logical. The physical file names must be unique. Prod_Data and Prod_Log are the logical names. If you want to change them though, you can use ALTER DATABASE.Tara Kizeraka tduggan |

Tara, can it be done while the DB is in stand by mode? I want to change the logical name on the standby. If I restore/apply DIFFS will it change back to the logical name? |

Standby mode means the database is in read-only mode, so no you can not make the change. But you really don't need to correct this as it isn't a problem.Tara Kizeraka tduggan |
