Hola.
Querría renombrar una base de datos oracle.
¿hay algún modo de hacerlo?
Gracias

Hola Cristina

Efectivamente no hay forma de renombrar una base de datos Oracle, como te comentaron lo que puedes hacer es cambiar el nombre del SID.

Y la única forma de cambiarle el nombre a la base sería que hicieras un export full, destruyeras la base acrtual, la crearas con el nuevo nombre y bajaras la información con un import full.

How to Determine and Change DB_NAME or ORACLE_SID
Type: BULLETIN
Status: PUBLISHED

Content Type: TEXT/PLAIN
Creation Date: 22-SEP-1994
Last Revision Date: 13-JUL-2004

PURPOSE

This entry describes how to find and change the "db_name" for a database, or

the ORACLE_SID for an instance, without recreating the database.

SCOPE & APPLICATION

For DBAs requiring to either find or change the db_name or ORACLE_SID.

OLD DATABASE NAME

[NOTE:61590.1] Renaming an existing Windows NT database(For Windows)

To find the current DB_NAME and ORACLE_SID:

===========================================

Query the views v$database and v$thread.

V$DATABASE gives DB_NAME

V$THREAD gives ORACLE_SID

If ORACLE_SID = DB_SID and db_name = DBNAME:

To find the current value of ORACLE_SID:

(For Oracle9i, must use SQL*Plus)

SVRMGR> select instance from v$thread;

INSTANCE

----------------

DB_SID

To find the current value of DB_NAME:

SVRMGR> select name from v$database;

NAME

---------

DBNAME

Modifying a database to run under a new ORACLE_SID:

===================================================

1. Shutdown the instance

The database must be shutdown with SHUTDOWN NORMAL or SHUTDOWN IMMEDIATE.

It must not be shutdown abnormally using SHUTDOWN ABORT.

2. Backup all control, redo, and data files.

3. Go through the .profile, .cshrc, .login, oratab, tnsnames.ora,

(for SQL*Net version 2), and redefine the ORACLE_SID environment

variable to a new value.

For example, search through disks and do a grep ORACLE_SID *

4. Change locations to the "dbs" directory

% cd $ORACLE_HOME/dbs

and rename the following files:

o init<sid>.ora (or use pfile to point to the init file)

o control file(s). This is optional if you do not rename any

of the controlfiles, and the control_files parameter is used.

The "control_files" parameter is set in the "init<SID>.ora" file

or in a file it references with the ifile parameter. Make

sure that the control_file parameter does not point to old

file names, if they have been renamed.

o "crdb<sid>.sql" & "crdb2<sid>.sql", This is optional, these are

only used at database creation.

NOTE: for Oracle9i if using an SPFILE: You must rename it (i.e. spfile<sid>.ora)

along with changing parameter values in the SPFILE. Please review the following

for more information on SPFILE.

[NOTE:162491.1] Spfile and Init.ora Parameter File Startup of an Oracle9i Instance

[NOTE:137483.1] How to Modify the Content of an SPFILE Parameter File

5. To rename the database files and redo log files, follow the

instructions in [NOTE:9560.1].

6. Change the ORACLE_SID environment variable to the new value.

7. Check in the "$ORACLE_HOME/dbs" directory to see if the password

file has been enabled. If enabled, the file "orapw<OLD_SID>" will

exist and a new password file for the new SID must be created

(renaming the old file will not work). If "orapw<OLD_SID>" does not

exist, skip to step 8. To create a new password file, issue

the following command as oracle owner:

orapwd file=orapw<NEWSID> password=?? entries=<number of users to be

granted permission to start the database instance>

8. Start up the database and verify that it works. Once this is done,

shutdown the database and take a final backup of all control, redo,

and data files.

The database must be shutdown with SHUTDOWN NORMAL or SHUTDOWN IMMEDIATE.

It must not be shutdown abnormally using SHUTDOWN ABORT.

9. When the instance is started, the control file is updated with the

current ORACLE_SID.

Changing the "db_name" for a Database:

======================================

1. Login to Server Manager (Oracle7 & Oracle8) SQL*Plus for Oracle9i

% svrmgrl

SVRMGR> connect internal

NOTE: For Oracle9i, must use SQL*Plus (svrmgrl is obsolete in Oracle9i)

% sqlplus "/ as sysdba"

2. Type

SVRMGR> alter system switch logfile;

to force a checkpoint.

3. Type

SVRMGR> alter database backup controlfile to trace resetlogs;

This will create a trace file containing the "CREATE CONTROLFILE"

command to recreate the controlfile in its current form.

4. Shutdown the database and exit SVRMGR

SVRMGR> shutdown

SVRMGR> exit

The database must be shutdown with SHUTDOWN NORMAL or SHUTDOWN IMMEDIATE.

It must not be shutdown abnormally using SHUTDOWN ABORT.

5. Change locations to the directory where the trace files are located.

They are usually in the "$ORACLE_HOME/rdbms/log" directory. If

"user_dump_dest" is set in the "init<SID>.ora" file, then go to the

directory listed in the "user_dump_dest" variable. The trace file will

have the form "ora_NNNN.trc with NNNN being a number.

NOTE: for Oracle9i if using an SPFILE: Please review the following for

changing parameter values in the SPFILE.

[NOTE:137483.1] How to Modify the Content of an SPFILE Parameter File

6. Copy the contents of the trace file starting from the line with

STARTUP NOMOUNT down to the end of the trace file and put it in

a new file called something like "ccf.sql".

7. Edit the "ccf.sql" file

FROM: CREATE CONTROLFILE REUSE DATABASE "olddbname" RESETLOGS ...

TO: CREATE CONTROLFILE set DATABASE "newdbname" RESETLOGS ...

Change the word 'REUSE' to 'set' and the 'olddbname' to 'newdbname'.

It is possible to recreate the controlfile using the syntax:

CREATE CONTROLFILE REUSE set DATABASE "newdbname" RESETLOGS ...

But this syntax will allow the existing controlfiles to be overwritten

without giving an error.

FROM:

# Recovery is required if any of the datafiles are restored backups,

# or if the last shutdown was not normal or immediate.

RECOVER DATABASE USING BACKUP CONTROLFILE

TO:

# Recovery is required if any of the datafiles are restored backups,

# or if the last shutdown was not normal or immediate.

# RECOVER DATABASE USING BACKUP CONTROLFILE

The last command in ccf.sql should be:

alter database open resetlogs

NOTE : In cases of Oracle 9i, the script must to be modified and

#(as comments) changed to -- as "#" is not recognized as a comment

in SQL*Plus

8. Save and exit the "ccf.sql" file

9. Rename the old control files for backup purposes and so that they do

not exist when creating the new ones.

10. Edit the "init<SID>.ora" file so that db_name="newdb_name" .

NOTE: for Oracle9i if using an SPFILE: Please review the following for

changing parameter values in the SPFILE.

[NOTE:137483.1] How to Modify the Content of an SPFILE Parameter File

11. Login to Server Manager

% svrmgrl

SVRMGR> connect internal

NOTE: For Oracle9i, must use SQL*Plus (svrmgrl is obsolete in Oracle9i)

% sqlplus "/ as sysdba"

12. Run the "ccf.sql" script

SVRMGR> @ccf

This will issue a startup nomount, and then recreate the controlfile.

If, at this point, an error stating that a file needs media recovery

is reported, then the database was not shutdown normally as specified

in step 4. Try recovering the database using the redo in the current

logfile, by issuing:

SVRMGRL> recover database using backup controlfile until cancel;

This will prompt for an archived redologfile. It may be possible to

open the database after applying the current logfile. BUT this is not

guaranteed.

To apply the necessary redo, check the online logfiles and apply the

one with the same sequence number as reported in the message. This

usually is the logfile with status=CURRENT. If not apply, the logfiles

in turn until the logfile with status=CURRENT has been applied. If,

after applying the current logfile, the database will not open then it

is highly likely that the operation must be restarted having shutdown

the database normally.

To find a list of the online logfiles:

SVRMGR> select group#, seq#, status from v$log;

GROUP# SEQUENCE# STATUS

---------- --------- ----------------

1 123 CURRENT <== this redo needs to be applied

2 124 INACTIVE

3 125 INACTIVE

4 126 INACTIVE

5 127 INACTIVE

6 128 INACTIVE

7 129 INACTIVE

7 rows selected.

SVRMGR> select member

from v$logfile

where GROUP# = 1;

Member

------------------------------------

/u02/oradata/V815/redoV81501.log

After applying the current online log file the following prompt should

be displayed:

Log Applied

Media Recovery Complete

At this point the database can be opened with:

SVRMGR> alter database open resetlogs;

13. The global database name may also need to be changed:

alter database rename global_name to <newdb_name>.<domain>

See [NOTE:1018634.102] for further detail.

14. Make sure the database is working.

15. Shutdown and backup the database.

The database must be shutdown with SHUTDOWN NORMAL or SHUTDOWN IMMEDIATE.

It must not be shutdown abnormally using SHUTDOWN ABORT.

Pues te diría que no. Lo que puedes hacer es cambiar el SID.
