List,
I have finally got a test box of some sort set up and have restored an old = backup of our production database on it. It is my understanding that the 2 = databases can have the same instance names since they are on different = machines. All I should have to do is add an entry in the names server with = a different service name pointing to the test box. Is there anything I am = missing before I do this? I have not started the listener on the test box = yet to make sure nobody could get in outside the server.

I seem to recall a subthread in the past couple weeks regarding database = unique IDs. Do I need to worry about this? I would expect these would be = the same value for both since I restored from a backup to make my test db.

Thanks.
