    Hi James,

    1. How do I change the name of the database? I'd like to change it match my database's name.

    I'm afraid this is not possible for Microsoft SQL Server. The database name uses a naming convention that is processed automatically by our internal systems. If you ordered the MySQL addon service, you have some limited control as you can create and delete the databases through the Control Panel.

    2. How do I move the database over? Detach in SQL Server, then FTP the .mdf file over? http://support.discountasp.net/KB/a1...earchID=341789

    Yes, and then use the Attach tool to restore the database as described in the Knowledge Base article.
