Hi
create a new password file by
orapwd utility
Usage: orapwd file=<fname> password=<password> entries=<users> force=<y/n>
where
file - name of password file (mand),
password - password for SYS (mand),
entries - maximum number of distinct DBA and force - whether to overwrite existing file (opt),
OPERs (opt),
There are no spaces around the equal-to (=) character.
Thanks

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

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 check the host name or rename the host name in Enterprise Manager

Hello,
How do i check the host name or rename the host name in Enterprise Manager for Oracle 11g?
Regards,
Ming Man

there is a shell script called chgip or something
like that is there . I used it for IAS. I beleive the
same is there for database too
Rajesh AlexIf there is, I have not been able to find it.
Off the top of my head, changing the host name involves at least the following (others feel free to add on):
For listener and connectivity
- listener.ora
- tnsnames.ora (on all clients as well)
- potentially ldap.ora (on all clients as well)
- init.ora parameter LOCAL_LISTENER
For admin using Enterprise Manager (starting 10g)
- the contents of the sysman schema
- the directory name of the OEM agent directory
- the directory name of the OEM OC4J config directory
- various config files in the OEM OC4J config directory
Oracle provides the emca to handle this last set.
In addition, the following refer to hosts that are [probably] not local
- init parameter REMOTE_LISTENER (usually just points to a tnsnames.ora entry naming remote hosts)
- init parm SMTP_OUT_SERVER
Again, adding to the list might be interesting.

How to modify the database name

Hi people
Im a developer and it's the first time that I use the Xe version of oracle. I need to modify the database name but I don't know how to make this. Im finding the commands but I don't meet this.
Anyone can help me?
Thanks
Best Regards

Hi,
XE is XE is XE ... ;-)
If you'd like to rename it you may get a database license for at least a STANARD EDITION ONE database, upgrade your XE to SE-ONE and then rename your database.
But (as it has been noted before) for obvious reasons there's no way to rename an XE database to something else :-)
Kind regards
Mike

Passing the database name as a PL/SQL procedure parameter

How do I pass the name of the database as a parameter to a procedure?
If dbs is the variable name to which I pass the database name as shown in the example,
CREATE OR REPLACE PROCEDURE Extract_gl_acct_Tbl(dbs varchar2)
and I use dbs in the code as follows,
SELECT ACCOUNT,
SETID
FROM SYSADM.PS_GL_ACCOUNT_TBL@dbs
It gives me an error saying 'ORA-04054: database link DBS does not exist'.

You will need to use dynamic SQL to handle this:
create or replace ...
is
type rc is ref cursor;
v_rc rc;
begin
open v_rc for 'select ... from sysadm.ps_gl_account_tbl@' || dbs;
fetch v_rc into ... -- some variables
-- if multiple rows, you'll need to do the fetch in a loop and exit when v_rc%notfound.
close v_rc;
end;

You do not have sufficient access privileges to rename the iten "name"

Hi,
I want to rename my short name in my powerbook and I can't, it shows me You do not have sufficient access privileges to rename the iten "name".
can somebody help me pls

You cannot properly change the short name of your account in the Finder; you need to use this application to do it, or change the short name to the desired name in the NetInfo Manager, which is in the /Applications/Utilities/ folder. Your short name is stored in several places in the NetInfo Manager; these are parts of the information for your user account and a few groups.
If there are no administrator accounts on the machine, use these instructions to add administrator access to one of your accounts.

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.
jing

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 to Rename the technical name and description of an infocube?
Thanx in advance,

Ravi,
You cant change the Technical name of the cube but you can change the description of the Cube. If you want to have a Cube with the same properties and with different Techname and Description better you do copy from the base cube and rename as per your requirement.

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...
