Re: Creating/renaming a clone database

Just want to confirm Mark's suggestion. We use "nid" in our scripts
for restores from our production backups every week several times and
works like a charm.
Small note to avoid headache - be sure that user running "nid" from
script/command line has rw access to datafiles and controlfiles.
Don't remember if it was mentioned already but in order to restore
from the same backup more than once at the same time lock_name_space
can be used. The same applies to restoring to the same host where
original instance is running (though, that's not my slyle).
