Quite A funny utility name I thought! Anyway Linux Redhat 4 Oracle 10 - trying to change database name Anyone got NID (New database ID) to work? I always get this NID-00135: There are 1 active threads DB has been up for a day so it cant be recovery threads. I will go back to the old fashioned way of achieving this but just wondered if it ever works? -- Howard A. Latham Sent from my Nokia N97
