Unfortunately, this problem is with the DBID, not anything in the
controlfile. Oracle 9.2 comes with a utility called 'nid' in
$ORACLE_HOME/bin/, which can change the DBID of a database. AFAIK,
there is no other way to change the DBID, and you just have to use
another catalog.
I think nid may work on lower version databases, but I am not sure.
Check out the docs.
