Making changes to Solarwinds database

I don't see any reason it wouldn't work.  A word of advice, however...don't update former employees e-mail address with your own.  Replace it with one of a mailing list i.e. solarwindsalerts@company.com and that way you'll never have to do this again.

Thanks John. I didn't think it would be a problem, just wanted to verify before I pulled the trigger.  As I sent my initial question, I forgot that syslog alerts/rules can be exported, but only one at a time and not all at once.

To be safe, have them do it to one alert and verify before making change globally

Of course .

Change your alerts to reference a custom property and place the email address there...then you have 1 place or fewer places to have to update and not having to re-touch every alert rule.

Didn't think of that, thanks!
