Is there an impact on changing the default database names for clm?
Accepted answer
Hi Brad,
as far as I can tell, no. From a Jazz perspective, you can name the DB as you like, as long as the user permissions don't change. If you rename them afterwards, make sure to adjust the connection strings in the teamserver.properties for the DB's you renamed.

With respect to upgrade:
I was assuming you may be able to rename the DB in the DBMS tools. In this case you could do the rename independent of any upgrade. In general use the tools that come along the DBMS.
If you are forced to do a repotools -export/-import during an upgrade that would be a chance to create new databases and change the connection string before doing the rename. This case is similar to the scenario of changing the DB vendor that is described in the documentation.
