I am unable to find the page you are looking of TOM Kyte. Can u send me the
URL?
I was trying cause I knew someone has done this in past. just forgot the
"HOW" portion.
Now the question is what will be the affect of doing this. I didn even find
anythinng about this in trace file.
Is this the simple update for Oracle like any other schema. No way.

There should be a reason for Tom Kyte's answer :O)

I'm surprised Tom let the one about updating the sys.user$ table slip by
without
any chiding. Wouldn't that be a strict no-no anyways?

that would be strictly a no-no -- 100%

D O N E ..... ! ! ! ! !
was thinking of changing the ownership column first.
But see, this works, with not a single error or warning in TRACE file.

hmmmm...!!!
Its a large dump, takes more than 5 hrs. so thinking to get it in
"SHORT WAY".
Export problem was because of replicated objects.
can afford to have a corruption on my local test database.

simple, dont do it, not supported, doesnt work and corrupts the data
dictionary and oracle support would tell you to go away.
Any good person will tell you to stop right now and do it the proper
way
Fromuser / touser export is the only way of doing it, so fix your
export problems.

Its not a joke and am doing this on test.
I remember one incident on LAZYDBAs , where a DBA did programming
on USER_ID and then required to change the USER_ID. He did it someway, but I am
unable to recollect.
There must be the way we can do. ( I think so).
