Hi All,

Iam seeking help for the manual DB creation.

I gone through the below steps:
1) created appropriate folders.

2) Copied a PFILE from an existing DB and changed the contents like DB name etc...

3)Then I Created a text file called
%ORACLE_HOME%\DATABASE\initmuktha.ora with the following contents:
ifile=c:\prag\pfile\initmuktha.ora

4) Then i set Oracle SID (Through Environment variable in MY COMPUTER --> PROPERTIES...)

5) Then I Created a Windows service for the DB.

6) startup nomount pfile= c:\prag\pfile\initmuktha.ora

7) Then I ran the database creation command.

The DB was created but when i log in again, it is looking for the pfile in the another DB's location rather than from "%ORACLE_HOME%\DATABASE".

Where i missed out to create new oracle_home folder?

Regards:
Muktha

this is independent of CREATE DATABASE.

Did you install a new Oracle Home for this database? If so, you'll have to create shell scripts that set the home, either to the original home or to the new one. You didn't say where you are setting %ORACLE_HOME%.

Er.... Are you telling us that you did this:

mkdir d:\%ORACLE_HOME%

?

Hi John,

I have created (Manually) the %ORACLE_HOME% in the below location.

C:\prag\admin
C:\prag\flash_recovery_area
C:\prag\oradata
C:\prag\%ORACLE_HOME%\DATABASE

Is it ok, if we create the folder manually?

Regards:
Muktha

Hi - I've asked two questions, which you haven't answered: did you install a new Oracle Home? Did you create a directory called %ORACLE_HOME% ? If you installed a new Oracle Home, you will have to environment variables appropiately in order to connect to it. If you created a directory called %ORACLE_HOME% you have done something so bizarre that I do not feel capable of commenting further. Sorry.
