RE: constraint naming
That's precisely the point - we have a bunch of system-generated names that we'd like to change to meaningful names... g -Original Message- Sent: Tuesday, July 24, 2001 2:32 PM To: Multiple recipients of list ORACLE-L g, Why use system generated FK names. does SYS12345 maen any thing to you? We always generate our FK with an ALTER TABLE command and name the FK with something that can be recognized. Very usefull when you have to drop the FK to accomplish an import of data.

Re: constraint naming
Guy, Per bug 15148 this is scheduled for 9.0.2. I don't know of any supported method of doing this, other than dropping and recreating the constraint.

I think that for them updating sys.con$ should be relatively safe, I don't believe that there is any other place (contrarily to PK and UQ constraints) where the name appears and is used. If I where you I would export with ROWS=N, reimport into a test database, fiddle in the dictionary, export the result with ROWS=N again, check with imp SHOW=Y that it looks like what you want, drop all FKs on the prod database, and reimport on the prod with IGNORE=Y.
