When I setup DNN it was using a shared SQL server... and as I could only run a single database there I used the Object Qualifier for the DNN tables.

Now I'm running it all myself, and was wondering if the Object Qualifier can easily & cleanly be removed completely from it. Is this possibly?

Thanks

David,

I would say NO....the object qualifier exists in the names of all tables, stored procedures, data relation names, and then inside the individual stored procedures...I don't see it as being an "easy" item to remove.

Hi David,

Mitch is right.  You can circumvent some of the work he outlined by reinstalling DNN with your new objectqualifier, letting DNN create all your SPs and relations.  Then you could just drop all the new tables and rename the old ones.  This would cut down on the amount of work that would be needed. 

However, remember that you actually obfuscate your surface area when using an objectqualifier, making your site more secure.  Think hard before you do something that requires a lot of work AND makes your site a little more vulnerable!

Thank you both for filling me in.

Already... I'm convinced to simply leave it as is now but thanks Brandon for the direction if it were to be changed.

Cheers

David
