Thanks. (Please reply to [EMAIL PROTECTED]) Regds, New Bee -- Catherine, It IS possible, I have done it a number of times, although long ago. Out the top of my head I think that the problem is with the REUSE after the CREATE CONTROL FILE. It doesn't pertain to the files, creating a control file will not do anything to the data files (you probably feared overwriting them). And afterwards you need an ALTER DATABASE to change the global name. -- Regards, Stephane Faroult Oriole Software -- Please see the official ORACLE-L FAQ: http://www.orafaq.com -- Author: Stephane Faroult INET: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Fat City Network Services-- 858-538-5051 http://www.fatcity.com San Diego, California-- Mailing list and web hosting services - To REMOVE yourself from this mailing list, send an E-Mail message to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] (note EXACT spelling of 'ListGuru') and in the message BODY, include a line containing: UNSUB ORACLE-L (or the name of mailing list you want to be removed from).

RE: Is it possible to copy one db to another if the SID is different
Dear New Bee: We do this all the time, and the problem you're having is the one that I tripped over my first time, too. There is an important word missing from your command. It's not... CREATE CONTROLFILE REUSE DATABASE TEST RESETLOGS ARCHIVELOG ...it is ... CREATE CONTROLFILE REUSE SET DATABASE TEST RESETLOGS ARCHIVELOG ^^^ And when you ALTER DATABASE OPEN you'll also need to say RESETLOGS.
