Use select spid from master..sysprocesses where dbid = db_id(‘Works’) and spid @@spid

kill all spids

and then rename from Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio

of headaches when you go back to that later (say a year after).

Better to use the ALTER which allows you to do the move without losing the config info.

would i lose login info if i kept everything on the same instance? i was always under the impression that same server restores did not require me to take any extra measures when it comes to logins. i cannot imagine that a detach and attach would be have differently than a same server restore.

now, detach and then reattach to a new server would certainly cause an issue with logins and permissions, no doubt. it is the same with a restore as well, you need to take extra steps to preserve the logins and permissions.
