Re: Rename Database on NT

Ron,
To change the database name, do an alter database backup controlfile to trace; from svrmgrl. Then change the create controlfile line to the new database name. Run the script. To change the services, it's probably easier to use oradim and recreate the services with the new name. The other alternative would be to shut all the services down and then do a registry crawl to change all the instance name stuff in the reg.
