change global_name on 9i

Oracle 9.2.0 on Solaris 2.8 - I've got global_name = FALSE and db_domain = "" - however I mistakenly issued the command alter database rename global_name to instance.world, and now I cannot get rid of it.

I've found the following on Metastink, but am wondering if there is any other method of getting the global_name back to instancename (without the .world)

This problem doesn't happen in 9i because a value NULL for db_domain is allowed, therefore if you set in 9i db_domain="", then you have a GLOBAL_NAME with only db_name and you can rename global_name to include domain and after rename it back without including domain.

Updating props$ manually is not a supported workaround.

Any help would be appreciated.

TIA,
mb
