Re: Can't log in any more - Help

Thank you all for reply

I'm a complete amateur when it comes to Oracle. In college I just learned how to create tables and alter them using SQL, nothing else. I installed Oracle 9i in my PC for maximum practice. All the suggestions I found here are way above my level of comprehension. Can any of you please suggest me any sites on the net where I can find some technical material to learn and get a bit less scared with Oracle.

Thanks
