Home -> Community -> Mailing Lists -> Oracle-L -> RE: GLOBAL_NAME change
Dick - You are correct. The problem is that I have an existing database that
does not have the domain as a part of the GLOBAL_NAME. Near as I can tell,
the ALTER DATABASE RENAME command always tacks the domain on. That is what I
want and I intend to use that to change it.
However, part of making a change is to have a backout plan. I don't like the idea of making a change without a possibility of undoing that change. Thanks to Juan and Scott I have that backout method (UPDATE) in case I need it, and I hope that I don't.

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.
