Hello there,

Renaming a Standalone Dedicated SQL Pool (formerly known as SQL Data Warehouse) in Azure Synapse Analytics can be achieved using PowerShell and the Azure PowerShell module. Here's a general outline of the steps you can follow to rename a dedicated SQL pool:

Install Azure PowerShell Module:

If you haven't already, install the Azure PowerShell module. You can install it using the following command:

Install-Module -Name Az -AllowClobber -Scope CurrentUser

Connect to Azure:

Use the Connect-AzAccount cmdlet to sign in to your Azure account:

Connect-AzAccount

Rename Dedicated SQL Pool:

Use the Set-AzSqlDatabase cmdlet to rename the dedicated SQL pool. You need to provide the resource group name, dedicated SQL pool name (old name), and the new name you want to assign. Here's the PowerShell command:

Set-AzSqlDatabase -ResourceGroupName <ResourceGroupName> -ServerName <ServerName> -DatabaseName <OldDatabaseName> -NewName <NewDatabaseName>

Replace <ResourceGroupName>, <ServerName>, <OldDatabaseName>, and <NewDatabaseName> with your actual resource group name, server name, old database name, and the new name you want to assign.
