Hi There,

you can change in any case upper or lower nothing happes
but database Name should not be changed once the database is created if want
to change the db name then you need to create control file again by create
controlfile command.......

like first db name was dhw and after creation if you are changing to XYZ
then here you need to create control file


Regards
Rahul Chaudhari
