Dump the prod control to trace
Copy the db files over to dev
edit the dumped controlfile (you can change db name here)
replace the copied controlfile with the new eidted one and bring up dev

I forget exactly what needs to change in the controlfile file script but db name and I believe reset logs

Hi!
We are supposed to clone our production database onto a new development box (both boxes are Sun Solaris). The db is about 200 GB in size.

What would be the best way to achieve this? Simply copying over the files won't work, since the instance names are different:

Production: SID=PCLDB1 => e.g. /u02/oradata/PCLDB1/system01.dbf
Development: SID=ROLAND => e.g. /u02/oradata/ROLAND/system01.dbf
So would export/import the entire db be the only way? (But writing out dump file that big should be a little disk space problem...)

Renaming all the datafiles (approx. 100) would be kind of annoying...
Any ideas?
This is 8.1.7 on Sun Solaris.
Thanks,
Helmut
