advertisements

_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

The Eucharistic Miracles of the World
Using this command line utility we can make following 3 changes to the oracle database. 

1. Only the DBID of a database 
2. Only the DBNAME of a database 
3. Both the DBNAME and DBID of a database 

Change DBID & DBNAME 

Syntax:- nid TARGET=SYS DBNAME=<dbname>

Demo:-

SQL> select dbid, name from v$database;

      DBID NAME
---------- --------------------------------------------------

Make a new database backup. Because you reset the online redo logs, the old backups and archived logs are no longer usable in the current incarnation of the database. 

Change DBID Only – Do not specify the dbname in the command 

Syntax:- nid TARGET=SYS

SQL> select dbid, name from v$database;

      DBID NAME
---------- ---------
2318690238 TEST
