I have faced an issue with Database naming convention.

I hav two Database named "MyDatabase" and "3MyDatabase" (Starting with number).

I want to alter Database by below code.

ALTER DATABASE MyDatabase SET OFFLINE WITH ROLLBACK IMMEDIATE (Its working properly as DB name is MyDatabase)

ALTER DATABASE 3MyDatabase SET OFFLINE WITH ROLLBACK IMMEDIATE (showing error as DB name is 3MyDatabase, starting with number )

I am facing this issue when Database name is starting with number.
If Database contains number but it does not start with number then no issue.

Please help. How to execute above script if Database name starts with number.

Thanks,
Praveen

Try surrounding the name with square brackets []

Your naming convenstion must comply with the rules of Database Identifiers[^]

You can try this:

SQL

ALTER DATABASE [3MyDatabase] SET OFFLINE WITH ROLLBACK IMMEDIATE
