It's not "SystemName" in the "SysProps" table?

Thanks, I knew I was missing something there (i was ignoring all tables in kindling that were only 4 kb because i was assuming they were empty....guess 1 row looks the same as empty does lol)

There shouldn't be. Extra rows would probably be ignored, I think everything is assuming 1 row with id == 0.

great, i'm setting up something to programmatically update the name in a gateway backup right now, and I wanted to make sure that update wouldn't need constraints
