    Question

    Is it possible to change the name of an instance on Windows NT platform without dropping and re-creating the instance?

    Thanks.

    Use utility oradim.exe. It allows you to rename the instance, it also renames appropriate service(s).

    ORADIM -EDIT -SID myoldsid -NEWSID mynewsid ....

    If your Oracle version is 8.0 then,

    ORADIM80 -EDIT -SID <oldsidname> -NEWSID <newsidname>

    If your Oracle version is 8i then
    ORADIM -EDIT -SID <oldsidname> -NEWSID <newsidname>

    Actually the utility ORADIM(80) can be used to create, modify or to delete the instances.
    If you want any help, just give,
    ORADIM -help

    All the best,
    Yajman
