Rename an Oracle schema without exporting and importing all schema data
If the user is very large, it can take a very long time to use the standard way expdp / impdp.
It can be done more efficiently using transportable tablespaces technique to remap the schema.
Basic steps
- check with DBMS_TTS.TRANSPORT_SET_CHECK that tablespace can be transported
- Make the tablespace read only
- Export tablespace metadata
- Drop the tablespace but keep its datafiles
- Create the new user account representing the renamed schema and grant needed privileges
- Import tablespace metadata and rename schema objects owner at the same time
- Make tablespce read write
- Set password for new user account and set default tablespace for this new account
- Drop old user account representing the schema before renaming
Rename an Oracle schema using Rodrigo Jorge's clever method
Essentially performs a network datapump from PL/SQL using a database link back to the same database so no intermediate dump file is necessary.
Unsupported way (Oracle have closed this loophole as of 19.9!)
An unsupported workaround to rename a schema is to simply update the username in sys.user$ and restart the database.
select user# from sys.user$ where name = 'EPK';
USER_ID
----------
172
update sys.user$ set name = 'KPK' where user# = 172;
1 row updated.
Create external user
Check the authentification prefix
SQL> show parameter authent NAME TYPE VALUE ------------------------------------ ----------- ------------------------------ os_authent_prefix string ops$ SQL>
On Unix...
create user ops$oracle identified externally; grant create session to ops$oracle;
On Windows...
Watch out on Windows - the domain name needs to be included!
create user "ops$domainname.com\\oracle" identified externally; grant create session to "ops$domainname.com\\oracle";
Additionally, the following option must be set in “%ORACLE_HOME%\
etwork\\admin\\sqlnet.ora”
If this is not present, you will not be able to connect as sysdba
SQLNET.AUTHENTICATION_SERVICES=(NTS)
