I issued the following command to change the global_name. ALTER DATABASE RENAME GLOBAL_NAME TO SIMSNT7B; Still it is showing SIMSNT7B.WORLD when I query the global_name view. SQL> select * from global_name; GLOBAL_NAME ---------------------------------- SIMSNT7B.WORLD Values for the following parameters in v$parameter view, GLOBAL_NAMES parameter value is FALSE and DB_DOMAIN parameter value is NULL. We are not using Oracle Names server. I renamed SQLNET.ORA file in network\admin location. Init.ora file has global_names set to false. How do I change to SIMSNT7B? This database is on Windows NT and it is 8.1.6. Thanks in advance for your help.
