RE: Is it possible to copy one db to another if the SID is differ

One thing to keep in mind (If I recall correctly): If you are using rman repository, the database ID (DBID) of the copied database will be the same as the old database. You will have to create a second schema in the repository if you plan on backing up both the new and the old databases using the same catalog database.
