Recommended Step by Step to Rename Azure Synapse Pool

New to Azure Synapse Workspace and pools. DBA's are trying to find a process to restore database from prod into dev. So for example, can set a restore point, can restore. The issue, trying to determine how to rename the pool so that things that rely on the name don't have to be updated.

What is the recommended process? We get errors trying to do the alter statement, have tried powershell with az commands and tried within the Synapse Analytics Workspace, and within SSMS using F2 and statements there. Nothing seems to work. Suspect our syntax is incorrect but trying to use based on what we've found via Googling. We get access denied errors.

Also, is there a better/best practice for day to day processes?

Any assistance is greatly appreciated.

Thanks

    Hello @Smileyville ,

    Thanks for the question and using MS Q&A platform.

    Unfortunately, renaming Azure Synapse Pool is not supported at this moment.

    Note: Currently, Azure Synapse Analytics product team working on this feature. I will update this thread once it's available.

    The 'MODIFY NAME' option has some support limitations in Azure Synapse:

    • Unsupported with Azure Synapse serverless pools
    • Unsupported with SQL dedicated pools created in your Azure Synapse Workspace
    • Supported with dedicated SQL pools (formerly SQL DW) created via the Azure portal

    For more details, refer to ALTER DATABASE.

    Appreciate if you could share the feedback on our Azure Synapse Analytics feedback channel. Which would be open for the user community to upvote & comment on. This allows our product teams to effectively prioritize your request against our existing feature backlog and gives insight into the potential impact of implementing the suggested feature.

    Hope this will help. Please let us know if any further queries.
