## Syntax  
  
```  
  
sp_syscollector_set_warehouse_database_name [ @database_name = ] 'database_name'  
```  
  
## Arguments  
 [ @database_name = ] '*database_name*'  
 Is the name of the management data warehouse. *database_name* is **sysname** with a default value of NULL.  
  
## Return Code Values  
 **0** (success) or **1** (failure)  
  
## Remarks  
 You must disable the data collector before changing the data collector-wide configuration. This procedure fails if the data collector is enabled.  
  
 To view the current database name, query the [syscollector_config_store](../../relational-databases/system-catalog-views/syscollector-config-store-transact-sql.md) system view.  
  
## Permissions  
 Requires membership in the dc_admin (with EXECUTE permission) fixed database role to execute this procedure.  
  
## Examples  
 The following example sets the name of the management data warehouse to `RemoteMDW`.  
  
```  
USE msdb;  
GO  
EXEC sp_syscollector_set_warehouse_database_name N'RemoteMDW';  
GO  
```
