Oracle 11.2.0.2里新增了一个新特性——用户重命名(Rename User)，在这个版本之前要想重命名用户，需要按用户导出，再fromuser touser（imp）或remap_schem（impdp）。还可以通过修改数据字典user$的方式来重命名用户，但这种方法可能会带来风险。有了这个特性之后，可以通过alter user oldname rename to newname identified by "password";一条命令来重命名用户。
下面来看测试过程，使用Oracle版本11.2.0.4
sys@ORCL>select * from v$version;
BANNER
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Oracle Database 11g Enterprise Edition Release 11.2.0.4.0 - 64bit Production
PL/SQL Release 11.2.0.4.0 - Production
CORE 11.2.0.4.0 Production
TNS for Linux: Version 11.2.0.4.0 - Production
NLSRTL Version 11.2.0.4.0 - Production
1、创建测试用户及测试表
sys@ORCL>create user sq identified by "sq";
User created.
sys@ORCL>grant connect,resource to sq;
Grant succeeded
sys@ORCL>create table sq.t1 as select * from dba_tables;
Table created.
2、执行alter user语句
sys@ORCL>alter user sq rename to zlx identified by "zlx";
alter user sq rename to zlx identified by "zlx"
*
ERROR at line 1:
ORA-00922: missing or invalid option
报错无效的操作，原来是需要修改隐含参数"_enable_rename_user"
3、修改隐含参数"_enable_rename_user"，并以restrict模式重启数据库
sys@ORCL>alter system set "_enable_rename_user"=true scope=spfile;
System altered.
sys@ORCL>startup restrict force;
ORACLE instance started.

Variable Size 956304504 bytes
Database Buffers 654311424 bytes
Redo Buffers 7245824 bytes
Database mounted.
Database opened.
4、再次执行alter user语句，重命名用户
sys@ORCL>alter user sq rename to zlx identified by "zlx";
User altered.
sys@ORCL>select count(*) from sq.t1;
select count(*) from sq.t1
*
ERROR at line 1:
ORA-00942: table or view does not exist
sys@ORCL>select count(*) from zlx.t1;
COUNT(*)
----------
2864
sys@ORCL>conn zlx/zlx
ERROR:
ORA-01035: ORACLE only available to users with RESTRICTED SESSION privilege
Warning: You are no longer connected to ORACLE.
sys@ORCL>conn / as sysdba
Connected.
sys@ORCL>alter system disable restricted session;
System altered.
sys@ORCL>conn zlx/zlx
Connected.
zlx@ORCL>select * from tab;
TNAME TABTYPE CLUSTERID
------------------------------------------ --------------------- ----------
T1 TABLE
从上面的结果来看用户名重命名成功。
5、reset隐含参数"_enable_rename_user"并重启数据库
sys@ORCL>alter system reset "_enable_rename_user";
System altered.
