在测试使用rman复制数据库时,之前为了好区分,我把一个数据库命名为standby,但是貌似这是个保留字,不能使用。又不想重新建数,所以想修改数据库名。
修改数据库名有两种方法:一种方法是重建控制文件,一种方法是使用DBNEWID工具。重建控制文件步骤比较繁杂,所以我使用DBNEWID工具。

1,正常关闭数据库
sqlplus / as sysdba
SQL>shutdown immediate

2,启动数据库到mount模式
SQL>startup mount

3,确认LISTENER是启动的
lsnrctl status

4,修改数据库名。使用DBNEWID工具修改数据库名时,比较以sysdba登录数据库,且要指定修改后的数据库名和使用setname选项。

nid target=sys/sys@standby dbname=demo setname=y

/u01/soft/oradata/standby/control01.ctl
/u01/soft/oradata/standby/control02.ctl
/u01/soft/oradata/standby/control03.ctl

Change database name of database STANDBY to DEMO? (Y/[N]) => y

5,修改参数文件,把原来的DB_NAME=standby修改为DB_NAME=demo
6,重新密码文件,orapwd file=/u01/soft/product/10.2.0/db_1/dbs/orapwdemo password=admin
7,使用修改后的pfile文件启动数据库

SQL> startup pfile='/u01/soft/admin/standby/pfile/init.ora.1025201033256'

8,创建spfile

SQL> create spfile from pfile='/u01/soft/admin/standby/pfile/init.ora.1025201033256';

9,重新启动数据库

SQL> shutdown immediate

SQL> startup

下面是nid命令的参数信息:
