I am presently working on oracle 9i. The environment is client server. The O/S is win2000.
Please help to provide the steps to rename the existing SID name. In another words, I am not moving from one databse to another or one instance to another... But I just want to rename the SID.
This I need because I have 150 clients where tnsnames.ora has different sid name. I want to use that name as SID.

Hi,
The following should work (however, I suggest you test it on a non-production machine first):
1. Shutdown the Database;
2. Drop the Oracle Service, and recreate it (using oradim.exe);
3. Update the Windows REGISTRY and update all old references to the new SID name (use regedit.exe);
4. Restart the Oracle Instance.
Best regards.
Frank
