Dump the prod control to trace
Copy the db files over to dev
edit the dumped controlfile (you can change db name here) =
replace the copied controlfile with the new eidted one = and bring up dev

I forget exactly what needs to change in the controlfile = file script but db name and I believe reset logs

Hi! =
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:=A0 SID=3DPCLDB1 =3D> e.g. = /u02/oradata/PCLDB1/system01.dbf
Development: SID=3DROLAND =3D> 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.
Thanks, =
Helmut =
