Re: Rename tablespace name.

Hi Dino

I read this some time ago somewhere, but i cannot remember where. I tried it on a simple test setup on my box and it does seem to work. I would not suggest you do this on a production box, and oracle will never sanction you doing it. I just suggested it for information.

cheers

Pete
