The following example creates the Accounting database and then changes the name of the database to Financial. The sys.databases catalog view is then queried to verify the new name of the database.
USE master; GO CREATE DATABASE Accounting; GO EXEC sp_renamedb N'Accounting', N'Financial'; GO SELECT name, database_id, modified_date FROM sys.databases WHERE name = N'Financial'; GO
