Use the following code snippits to identify and rename logical file names in Microsoft SQL Server.

Determine the logical file names

USE [database_name]
GO
sp_helpfile
GO

Rename logical file names

USE master
GO
ALTER DATABASE database_name
MODIFY FILE  ( NAME = 'current_logical_name', 
NEWNAME = 'new_logical_name')
GO

SQL 2008 returns the following confirmation:

The file name 'new_logical_name' has been set.

After restoring a database from a remote server backup, the “Login name” is often disassociated.

The Solution

USE [database_name];
GO
EXEC sp_change_users_login 'Auto_Fix', 'Username';
GO

SQL should respond with the following:

The row for user 'Username' will be fixed by updating its login link to a login
already in existence.
The number of orphaned users fixed by updating users was 1.
The number of orphaned users fixed by adding new logins and then updating users was 0.
