Hi, Finally our group concluded this is not possible, let it as it is.
But it is possible by cheating the oracle kernel. So let me take a back. :-)) Senthil -----Original Message----- Naveen Nahata Sent: Friday, June 13, 2003 3:50 PM To: Multiple recipients of list ORACLE-L Senthil, Could you please send me the script which can modify col$.NAME? I tried this (of course on a trashable DB) but it doesn't work, and as far as my understanding goes(looking at the error), "NOTHING" can make it work. Following is the error I get in 8.1.7.0.0 SQL> alter table col$ modify name varchar2(60); alter table col$ modify name varchar2(60) * ERROR at line 1: ORA-00701: object necessary for warmstarting database cannot be altered Regards Naveen DISCLAIMER: This message (including attachment if any) is confidential and may be privileged.
