Hello,
I have SQL 2012 installed 2 years ago. The server contains one DataBase for the app that should be removed from production next week.
The server was properly configured, always patched.
I just got a new request for the app that requires SQL. In current situation the app that uses SQL was installed on separate server .
New APP could be installed and I want to install on existing SQL 2012 machine.
Here is my plan
1. I want to remove existing DB in right way. Please suggest how.
2. I need to RENAME the server.
3. I need to install New App on the server
I would like to know if 3 points are OK and if there are any potential issues for the future.
If there is a minimum chance for a problematic behavior I will start with new server installation.
If possible provide more details on steps if my plan is valid.
Thanks.
