When I run the install under solaris 2.3, it asks me if there is an existing database with the name that I use. Since I am doing new installs, I always answer no. However, since the install procedure asks, it leads me to believe that it will manage the conversion for you. I'd suggest perusing the install manual and calling Oracle.
