Re: replicating an instance

You can even do something like:
alter database backup controlfile to trace as '/tmp/rename.sql';

Connected to:
Oracle9i Enterprise Edition Release 9.2.0.4.0 - Production With the Partitioning option
JServer Release 9.2.0.4.0 - Production

SQL> alter database backup controlfile to trace as '/tmp/rename.sql';

Database altered.

Then the search & rename step is no longer needed.
