This parameter applies only to Microsoft SQL Server databases.

  • If this parameter is specified, you can restore all or specific databases and rename new databases.

Range

  • You can enter multiple new database names and separate them with commas (,). The new database names can contain but cannot be the same as the original database names.
  • Note the following when you are specifying new database names:
    • New database names must be different from the original database names. If they are left blank, the original database names will be used for restoration by default.
    • Check whether new database names are case sensitive based on the character set selected during instance creation and make sure each new database name is unique.

Error causes are as follows:

  1. The new database name (A) is the same as the original database name (A).
  2. The new database name (B1) is not unique.
  3. When the database name is case insensitive, the database names D1 and d1 conflict.
