Please enlighten me with information
"In which file is the database and tables and procedures etc stored . "
I logged on as system/manager.
I want to copy the contents to another computer and work on from there. I am using personal Oracle 8i

>>"In which file is the database and tables and procedures etc stored

anything stored in database is stored in a datafile physically.
But you cannot directly read and fetch those information out of oracle datafiles.
the same information is logically available in forms of tables( data) an little structures of code is stored as stored procedure/triggers/views are available in certain metadata( data about data) liek user_source and user_tables.

if you are looking into transfering the contents of one database to another database, export/import is the easiest way.
Please search oracle docs/this site/google for export/import in oracle.
