We are supposed to clone our production database onto a new development box (both boxes are Sun Solaris). The db is about 200 GB in size. What would be the best way to achieve this? Simply copying over the files won't work, since the instance names are different: Production: SID=PCLDB1 => e.g. /u02/oradata/PCLDB1/system01.dbf Development: SID=ROLAND => e.g. /u02/oradata/ROLAND/system01.dbf So would export/import the entire db be the only way? (But writing out dump file that big should be a little disk space problem...) Renaming all the datafiles (approx. 100) would be kind of annoying... Any ideas? This is 8.1.7 on Sun Solaris.
