Waleed -----Original Message----- Sent: Friday, December 06, 2002 5:14 PM To: Multiple recipients of list ORACLE-L You can update the global_name by using sqlplus or svrmgrl (internal or "/ as sysdba" or sys): update global_name set global_name = newname; commit; I do this every time I clone a database. If you don't change it, then the database links won't work. DENNIS WILLIAMS wrote: > Adam - Someone posted a better "hidden?" parameter awhile back.
