Dear All,

I am having few confusion on dbname, sid & tnsname.

rman target sys/oracle@suman auxiliary /

In the above command, "suman" is SID or Tnsname or dbname?

Bimistake, in my test database, i tried to change the DBname to suman from sumandb in pfile. After changing, i tried to startup database in nomount pfile but oracle through error that, unable to locate control file. Then, i remove the control files and tried to start database with nomount. Oracle through error about the control file.

This database, i had installed through DBCA.
I want to know, where are all places where DBname reside?

Can i start database through pfile even if it is created through DBCA?

Eager to know this answer from you.

Regards,
Ishika

Thank you Mr. BlackSwan.

Can I change Dbname once database is installed?
Can I start database with nomount pfile, after changing the DBname?
