Oracle 9i, 10g, 11g: Methods to Rename a username / schema to a new name

advertisements

_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

The Eucharistic Miracles of the World
There is no direct method to perform the schema or username renaming. Oracle does not provide any single command to perform this. There are two indirect ways to perform this. Out of these 2 methods one is not recommended by the Oracle.
Method 1
Suppose we wanted to rename the Scott user to Tiger.
Step1. Export the scott schema details to a dump file using exp or expdp utility
Object list of Scott user is given below.
SQL> select object_name, object_type from all_objects where owner='SCOTT';

OBJECT_NAME                    OBJECT_TYPE
------------------------------ -------------------
DEPT                           TABLE
EXAMPLE                        TABLE PARTITION
EXAMPLE                        TABLE PARTITION
EXAMPLE                        TABLE
SYS_C00278761                  INDEX
EMP1                           TABLE
EXAMPLE_PARTITION              TABLE
TMP$$_SYS_C002787610           INDEX
GT_EMP                         TABLE

9 rows selected.

$ expdp dumpfile=scott.dmp logfile=scott.log directory=exp_dir schemas=SCOTT

Step3. Create the target user(TIGER) in the database with necessary privileges.
SQL> create user tiger identified by welcome;

User created.

SQL> alter user tiger default tablespace users;

User altered.


SQL> alter user tiger quota unlimited on users;

User altered.
Step4. Import the dump to the new user with remap schema option with impdp or fromuser touser option in imp utility.
$ impdp dumpfile=scott.dmp logfile=imp_scott.log directory=exp_dir remap_schema=scott:tiger

Job "SYS"."SYS_IMPORT_FULL_01" completed with 1 error(s) at 02:05:55
You can ignore the error, why because the user already created manually.
Step5: Validate the object list
SQL> select object_name, object_type from all_objects where owner='TIGER';

OBJECT_NAME                    OBJECT_TYPE
------------------------------ -------------------
DEPT                           TABLE
EXAMPLE                        TABLE PARTITION
EXAMPLE                        TABLE PARTITION
EXAMPLE                        TABLE
SYS_C00278761                  INDEX
EMP1                           TABLE
EXAMPLE_PARTITION              TABLE
TMP$$_SYS_C002787610           INDEX
GT_EMP                         TABLE

9 rows selected.

Method 2 : This method is not recommended by oracle because this is a manual updation of data dictionary tables.
SQL> select object_name, object_type from all_objects where owner='SCOTT';

OBJECT_NAME                    OBJECT_TYPE
------------------------------ -------------------
DEPT                           TABLE
EXAMPLE                        TABLE PARTITION
EXAMPLE                        TABLE PARTITION
EXAMPLE                        TABLE
SYS_C00278761                  INDEX
EMP1                           TABLE
EXAMPLE_PARTITION              TABLE
TMP$$_SYS_C002787610           INDEX
GT_EMP                         TABLE

9 rows selected.

Step 1. Connect to sqlplus using sys as sysdba
Step 2. Update the name column of sys.user$ table for the scott user as tiger
SQL> update user$ set name='TIGER' where name='SCOTT';
1 row updated.
Step 3. Reset the password of Tiger user
SQL> alter user tiger identified by welcome;
User altered.
Step 4 Connect to the Tiger user and validate the objects
SQL> select object_name, object_type from all_objects where owner='SCOTT';

OBJECT_NAME                    OBJECT_TYPE
------------------------------ -------------------
DEPT                           TABLE
EXAMPLE                        TABLE PARTITION
EXAMPLE                        TABLE PARTITION
EXAMPLE                        TABLE
SYS_C00278761                  INDEX
EMP1                           TABLE
EXAMPLE_PARTITION              TABLE
TMP$$_SYS_C002787610           INDEX
GT_EMP                         TABLE
