	| 1. Backup the database 2. SHUTDOWN IMMEDIATE of the database
 3. STARTUP MOUNT
 4. Open one session and run NID with sysdba privileges
 % nid TARGET=SYS/password@test_db DBNAME=test_db2 SETNAME=Y
 - the value of DBNAME is the new dbname of the database
 - SETNAME must be set to Y. The default is N and causes the
 DBID to be changed also.
 5. shutdown IMMEDIATE of the database
 6. Set the DB_NAME initialization parameter in the initialization parameter
 file to the new database name
 7. Create a new password file
 8. Startup of the database(without resetlogs)
