hi

please help me to solve this...

Different issue
I am an oracle admin. But our website uses SQL Server
Now the issue is the sqlserver was connecting to a TEST DB earlier. Now they want to shift the connection to a PROD DB.
I edited the tnsnames to show the new PROD DB connection. And i can tnsping it to verify the connection.
I now need to remove the earlier DB connection in sqlserver and have it to connect to the new PROD DB
MY sqlserver admin has no clue.
So can any1 guide me how to have this connection take effect

When you say sqlserver was connecting to a Test DB - was it doing this using Linked Server or another method? If its using linked server can you not just drop the old link and create a new one in Server Objects?

Check in Server Objects / Linked Servers. If there is a linked server open its properties and direct to new server.
