I have designed a standard database product and this database is seeded with a customer independant set of data. I now want to make a copy for each customer so that all the sql server files are renamed with the customer name.I have found that i can restore a database with a new name but the underlying logical names of the files do not change.Hope you can helpregardsPhil" |

| ALTER DATABASE will let you rename logical files, but there's no reason or advantage in doing so. In fact it would make it impossible to restore a backup if the logical names have been changed. |
