What is the purpose of the TencentDB for SQL Server instance name and how to modify it?

The purpose of the TencentDB for SQL Server instance name is to provide a unique identifier for easy recognition and management within your cloud environment. It helps distinguish between multiple database instances, especially when you have several deployments for different applications or environments (e.g., production, testing, development).

To modify the instance name:

1. Log in to the Tencent Cloud console.
2. Navigate to the TencentDB for SQL Server service page.
3. Locate the target instance from the list and click its ID or the "Manage" button.
4. In the instance details page, find the "Basic Information" section.
5. Click "Modify" (or the edit icon) next to the instance name field.
6. Enter the new name and confirm the change.

Note: The instance name is for internal reference only and does not affect the database's functionality or connectivity.

For example, if you have a production SQL Server instance named prod-db-sqlserver-01 and a testing instance named test-db-sqlserver-01, renaming them to ecommerce-prod-db and ecommerce-test-db can improve clarity when managing multiple instances.

TencentDB for SQL Server provides a user-friendly interface to manage such configurations efficiently.
