Re: Clone a database

Hello again,
thanks all that have replied.
I have another question. Is it possible to clone a database just only through OS operations? For example, is it possible to overwrite the files related with one database (.dbf, .ctl..) with the one related with the database to 'clone'?
Maybe it sounds crazy...
