1. Re: editing database name in dataconnection
can i edit the tableau metadata tables and update it manually in _dataconnections and _datasources? would that solve the issue.
my version of tableau is 8.2.2 and i have created an external account and I am not sure if i have update privileges

Not sure exactly what you're trying to do but did you read this? onlinehelp.tableau.com/v8.2/server/en-us/help.htm#connections_modify.htm
I do not recommend messing around with the tables in the Tableau Server db and, if you do, Tableau Support will not be able to help you if things break!

3. Re: editing database name in dataconnection
Thanks Toby for the reply. But in the data connections i dont get an option of database name. Last week my server team has changed the database name so I tried to edit the data connections but its of no use. I will republish the worksheets manually.

Well, that wasn't very nice of them!
I believe that if you were to change the entries in the Postgres db they wouldn't match with what's in the report XML, so re-publishing is what needs to be done
