The "proper" command is: Alter database rename global_name to = <whatever>;

I usually just go in and update it. Then you can set it to whatever you want.=3D20

Update global_name
Set global_name =3D3D 'sid';

Subject: GLOBAL_NAME change

I am trying to switch to GLOBAL_NAMES=3D3DTRUE. If I have two databases = =3D
and
set
global_names=3D3Dtrue on database A, on database B I need to ALTER =3D DATABASE
RENAME GLOBAL_NAME TO sid.domain. Currently this database just has GLOBAL_NAME as sid.=3D20

     Now my question. If something goes wrong, does anyone know a way to change the GLOBAL_NAME back to just plain sid? It seems that the ALTER DATABASE RENAME GLOBAL_NAME command always helpfully slaps the domain on the
sid. In theory since I'm not changing GLOBAL_NAMES=3D3DTRUE on database = B,
nothing should be affected (like its existing links). But it bothers me to
make an irrevocable change.
