Can we rename the database name in oracle 10g

Hi,
Can we rename the database name in oracle 10g.
Please help

Yes as already said, using DBNEWID Utility can renamed the database name.
You can also take a look at the Oracle Metalink Note:429674.1 (Which was written by me) - Subject: How We Used the Oracle DBNEWID Utility to Change the Database Name

How to rename the column name in oracle 8i?

hi,
Does anyone know how to rename the column name in oracle 8i?My method was drop the relationship key first then delete the old column,finally add the new column.
Thanks for your replay.

There is no facilty to rename a column name in Oracle 8i. This is possible from Oracle 9.2 version onwards.
For you task one example given below.
Example:-
Already existed table is ITEMS
columns in ITEMS are ITID, ITEMNAME.
But instead of ITID I want ITEMID.
Solution:-
step 1 :- create table items_dup
as select itid itemid, itemname from items;
step 2 :- drop table items;
step 3 :- rename items_dup to items;
Result:-
ITEMS table contains columns ITEMID, ITEMNAME

How can i change the database name on MaxDB?

Hello. I need to do a homogeneous copy where the source system is the productive system and the target system is the quality system. Therefore after to restore the data backup i need to change the database name of quality system (from CLP to CLQ) but i'm not sure that it could be possible because in the MaxDB documentation i didn't found nothing about that. please can you tell me if it is possible and how i change it?
I work with MaxDB 7.6.04.11. Thanks for your help.

> I will try to explain better: the SID of the source database is CLP and the SID of the target database is CLQ, when you say "once you restore the DB, it will use the new SID", i understand that the new SID in the target database would CLP or am i wrong? and i need that the SID in the target database remains CLQ after the restore.
Hi Ivonne,
what you've described as your requirement is exactly what will happen, when you just perform the procedure that Eric described to you.
A recovery won't change the SID of the instance you perform the recovery to.
All it does is: take the instance as is and load the data pages to the data area. Afterwards the log files may be recovered.
Think of the instance as a kind of container for your database.
The instance itself is not the database - so the SID does not change with the content of the database.
Hmm... why not simply try it?
Create a little test instance and back it up.
Create another instance with a different name and recover the backup of the first instance.
You will still have both instances, each with its original name.
regards,
Lars

Database Service Name or Global Database Name with Oracle 10G, when Oracle

I have an old installation of Oracle 9i (SID=ORCL) and now have installed Oracle 10G (SID=ORC2). I can get connection to Oracle 10G if i define it as an Oracle 8 compatible identification (ie I access to a SID, and donÂ´t provide a Service Name.
Now I want to install Oracle HTML DB, and succeeded to install the SQL-script that came with the download, but when I install Apache and HTML DB from the Oracle Companion CD I am asked to give the Database Service Name (in the Help it is explained as the Global Database Name).
When i give the Net Service Name I get error messages (incomprehensible).
When I look in Net Manager, the Net Service Name does not have a Service Name, but only points to a SID (ie ORC2).
Where can I find the Database Service Name (or Global Database Name), OR define it if it is not defined??
Thanks for your help,

create a net service for oracle10g and provide the name of this service during HTML DB installation it is required for installation.

Can't Create the ODBC connection for Oracle 10g

Hi,
I am working with Oracle 10g Database Release 2 in windows XP professional. I am trying to create an ODBC connection for oracle but become failure because its generating the following errors:
system error code 998
could not locate the setup or translator library
Please help me how can I solve this problem and create the ODBC connection for oracle 10g database.
Best Regards,

could not locate the setup or translator libraryThe symptom described is typical of an incorrect system env PATH setting (used by the data source admin tool), compared to that of the Oracle Home (specifically, path $OH/bin). The odbc driver config routine will search directories listed in PATH variable for necessary libraries (Client dll's). If some library fails to load (from e.g. oraoci*.dll or oraclient10.dll) it will probably error out, as in your case.
Are you creating the odbc dsn on the databse server host or on some other machine? I.e. are you using the db host as a client or not?

Want to modify the Global Database Name in Oracle 10g R2

Hi All,
I have a global database name like GS77.UK.ORA.COM , I want it to be just GS77.What are the possible workarounds for modifying this.
Thanks & Regards,
Gaurav S.

If your problem is really just the global name, yes.
You can check with
Select * from global_name;
Check the documentation first to ensure you checked all implications first

Issue with renaming the package name from "Oracle" to "oracle" in windows

Hi all,
I created a project in which initially I created all the jsffs in a package Oracle/communications. In one of the jsff pages(a.jsff) I have include tag <jsp:directive.include file="/*Oracle*/communications/b.jsff"/>
But later I refactored the code and renamed the package to oracle/communications and I modified the include tag to <jsp:directive.include file="/*oracle*/communications/b.jsff"/>
But after that change also when I deploy the ear and try to access the a.jsff, I am getting the file not found exception.
Root cause of ServletException.
oracle.jsp.parse.JspParseException:
/adflib/oracle/communications/a.jsff: Line # 19, <jsp:directive.include file="/Oracle/communications/b.jsff" xmlns:jsp="http://java.sun.com/JSP/Page"/>
Error: Include file not found: /Oracle/communications/b.jsff
Do I need to change any other configuration file?
The same ear when deployed in linux is working absolutely fine.
Thanks in advance,
Vamsi

Windows doesn't know the difference between upper case and lowercase file names. So renaming Oracle to oracle will not change the file name.
To change the file name you have to rename it from Oracle to xxoracle and then to oracle.

How can I Calcualte the geometric mean in oracle 10g

I'm sure you meant count *(val)*, not count (*).
You can also use AVG instead of SUM and COUNT.
There's nothing specail about the number 10; any number greater than 1 will do; just be sure to use the same number in both POWER and LOG. If you used e, that would be equivalent to using EXP and LN instead of POWER and LOG, so why not use EXP and LN in the first place?
SELECT       job

Rename the Company Name in test company

I did the backup then restore database from SQL Server. I noticed the test company has same Company Name only the Database Name is different from Original Database Name.
Can I rename the Company Name to distinguish with the Original Database now? I get confused when I did some testing not even to users.
Thanks,

Not only you can, buhttps://forums.sdn.sap.com/post!reply.jspa?threadID=1175227#t also you must. Otherwise you or other people will be confused sooner or later. It is very easy to change company name.

How to know the database name?

I have installed oracle 10g and developer suite.. I am trying to create forms now.
But its error out: TNS: could not resolve the connect identifier specified!!!
I forgot the Data base name.. How can I know the database name??
Thanks in Advance!!!!!!!!!!

I have installed oracle 10g and developer suite.. I'm sorry, but you are going to have be more specific as what you installed!
If you installed Oracle Database 10g Express Edition then it is not (by default) configured to allow a connection through SQL*Plus. It is primarily configured to open a connection through the "Go To Database Homepage" url/link in the Start Menu => Oracle Database 10g Express Edition => Go To Database Homepage. In order to connect to the database from SQL*Plus (which is included with Oracle Developer Suite 10g) you will need to run the Net Configuration Assistant to configure your TNSNAMES.ora and SQLNET.ora files. Go to Start Menu => Oracle - DevSuiteHome1 => Configuration and Migration Tools => Net Configuration Assistant to run the assistant. After you run the assistant, test to make sure can connect through SQL*Plus before you attempt to connect through Forms.
Hope this helps,
Craig...

Change the Database Name in Essbase Studio

Hi All,
Happy new year to all of you.
Is there a way to change the database name in Essbase Studio, what I can see now once we have registered a database in Database Sources panel, we can't change the Database Name because it is always grayed out but the server name, user name and password can be changed.
Actually I have mentioned this issue to our team before starting development and they proposed me the schema that I can use, but suddenly our client did not agree with it that we have been using, and then our client asked us to use another schema, FYI we are using Oracle Database as the data source.
Can you guys here share how to manage this situation.
Thanks,
Rudy

For Essbase Studio, the configuration metadata are saved as CP_tablenames, look for the CP tables, and make proper database change for the database name.
1. Make a Oracle backup for the CP tables before you change the metadata so that you can get back in case if error
2. Change the CP_CONNECTION TABLE, NAME column
3. Change the CP_SOURCE table, column DNAME, for example, it is called TBC.Sales, change to NewDB.Sales
I am not sure if there are other table also need to be updated, anyway, when you update the DBname in the metadata level, everything should be consistent in all of the related tables. Here, I assume the new db has the same table names as the old db, if the new db has very different table names, recreating everything may be easier and has less risk.
