First keep the database in single user mode and then change the database name or disconnect all users from that database and then you should be able to rename database. Regards IM. @Wendy,

Unfortunately, it broke the SSIS package that used to be working. Somehow, it does not want to save the password even going directly to the configuration file. Any suggestion?
