Is renaming a SQL database easy? Can it be done via the GUI only or must
one use SQL transact statements?

Use the sp_renamedb stored procedure. You need to provide the old and
new database names. Note that you also need to be in the SysAdmin or
DB_Creator fixed server roles to execute this stored proc.
