Re: Installing Oracle on openVMS

Thanks. I've added all of those, and been through the guide several times. It still won't run the installed, just says don't have priviliges and lists the 5-6 I mentioned before.

Someone told me the account also needed 'ORA_DBA', but I don't seem to be able to add that with 'authorize' - just says it doesn't know the descriptor. Anyone seen this before and can help ?

Many thanks.
