Renaming a connection

You can rename the default name the Maintenance Tool applies to your connections. For example, you can rename a connection to a shorter name or to a name that is more recognizable for your team.
About this task

Renaming a connection does not change the schema or user database information associated with that connection. Connections are maintained independently on each client machine, so changing a connection name will not affect the connections on other machines. A connection can have different names on different machines.

To rename a connection:

  1. Start the Maintenance Tool.
  2. In the Existing Connections window, select the connection to rename and click Connection > Rename.
  3. Type the new name for the connection and press Enter.
