When we try to rename the database then getting error below
Msg 5030, Level 16, State 2, Line 1
The database could not be exclusively locked to perform the operation
To resolve this error we have to first set the database to Single User Mode.
After that we can rename the database, then again we can set the database back to Multi-User mode.
There are some below steps to rename database in SQL Server.

ALTER DATABASE OLD_DB_Name SET SINGLE_USER WITH ROLLBACK IMMEDIATE;

ALTER DATABASE OLD_DBName MODIFY NAME = NEW_DBNAME;
