We're going to be migrating to a new production instance soon. I currently have instance dave_tcp with a SERVERNUM of 20 and davenew_tcp with a SERVERNUM of 90. I'd like to rename davenew_tcp to dave_tcp and dave_tcp to daveold_tcp when I migrate. I wasn't planning on changing the server numbers, but could if I have to. Will the engine object if I shutdown, change the DBSERVERNAME, and then put it back online with a new name?
