That is exactly what I wrote. You should have read my posts more patiently. Since the question was "Can I create a database via oracle client?", I corrected Mr. Bakker's replies. Because the answer to that question is "Yes". Also it *is not* true that one can't connect to a db server via sqlnet without having a database or an instance started. After that it is possible to create a database. I suggest you to perform that excercise to convince yourself that this can be done.

Maybe you can't imagine the scenario in which this could be useful. I can't and we never created any database this way. But does the fact that you, Mr Bakker and me don't find that possibility useful mean that Mr. Innerebner (for some reason) doesn't need to create a db "remotely"? I don't think so.

Oh, thanks you for the english and anatomy lessons. Or was that M.S.'s spelling error...?
I myself never tried to pretend that my english is perfect. Anyway I suppose it is far better than your knowledge of our language.

Together with several wrong statements. It is not wrong to be wrong about something, you see. It is wrong to be wrong and not to be able to admitt that, and to try to "defend" yourself with arrogancy.

Bytheway.. I suppose you ment to write "response". I can't find "repsonse" in any english dictionary :-)

> Apparently the idiot is your employee who continues to propose

Thank you, Mr. Fitzjarrell. Nice to meet you, too :-) But please, before ending this discussion, this time try to read original poster's question and all of my replies. Thanks. You migh even change your mind, though I don't really care.

Now I see. You consider this newsgroup as your and Mr Bakker's own private playground :-)

Excuse me for wasting your time and of course for my imperfect english :) And you're right, we're all wasting our company time in this thread.
