    The utility is called NID, not DBNEWID.

    You can use disk backups for cloning. No need for MML in order to run the duplicate command :-)

    No, the utility is caled "DBNEWID utility". The executable is called "nid".

    It's like you would say: No, the utility is not aclled SQL*Loader, it's caled sqlldr.

    No, it is called NID or DBNEWID.

    Go to note 224266.1:

    "The NID (New Database ID)is a new utility introduced with Oracle 9.2. The NID
    utility allows you to change only the DBNAME, or only the DBID or both
    DBNAME and DBID in the same command. "

    And you don't say sqlldr, because it is hard to pronounce. Unlike NID.

    *tap tap is this thing on?

    you could do what we did at my last gig.
    simply take a hot backup of the standby. ftp the datafiles over to your dev. Rename the database, startup using an edited controlfile from prod. Rinse and repeat as neccessary.
    We did this on a nightly basis, we had a Reporting database that users could run thier reports off of instead of having to use prod.
    It's particularly sweet if you're in an unsecure environment and have rsh available to use. If not use the ssh, A couple of scripts and voila` you've got yourself a nightly refresh job.
    Oracle it's not just a database it's a lifestyle!
