Ferenc - No, the dbid will not change with a recreate controlfile. I checked a couple of test databases that I created this way. If you need to change it, someone has posted a procedure for doing this somewhere on the Web.

[EMAIL PROTECTED] -----Original Message----- Sent: Monday, February 24, 2003 4:02 PM To: Multiple recipients of list ORACLE-L Hi Everyone Unfortunately, I don't have the time to test this out, so hopefully someone here has gone through this, and can give me a simple yes/no answer. If I completely restore a database (DB crashed, think DR situation) and bring it up on another node, does the DBID in v$database change ? If I recreate the control file, will DBID change ? Thanks.
