  • follow the steps of the wizard which guides you through the entire process of creating the object, or set the object properties using its editor - depending on the selected object type.

  • select the database object in the DB Explorer tree;
  • right-click the object to call its context menu and select the Edit <object type> <object name> context menu item, or double-click the object to open it in its editor.

 

Renaming Database and Server Objects
