    Whether you use the old or new method, there's a whole lot more to it if you really want to do it right.

    --Jeff Moden

    RBAR is pronounced "ree-bar" and is a "Modenism" for Row-By-Agonizing-Row.
    First step towards the paradigm shift of writing Set Based code:
    ________Stop thinking about what you want to do to a ROW... think, instead, of what you want to do to a COLUMN.

    Change is inevitable... Change for the better is not.

    hmmm -- I have used sp_renamedb in the past without any issues, and it still works. I think it is wrong to post multiple answers that are both OK.  I now realize that the stored procedure is in maintenance mode, but sometimes you need to cut us old timers some slack.

     

    OK -- now I went back and reread the question.  At first I did not see the "in a way that will be supported in the future".  My bad!
