I am a new dba wannabe...
Installed oracle 10g on WIndows XP pro at home to practice.
I created two databases using DBCA. I have two qns.
1. How to invoke OEM or isqlplus from a browser
when I use url http://workpc:1158/em or http://workpc:5500/em nothing happens.
2. When I do Show instance in sqlplus is says instance "local' and not the instance name I created. Also I can log on to only one database at a time. How do I set up connect descriptors?

Your help is very much appreciated.

To start with, set apart the OEM/iSQL*Plus and other fancy GUI/Web interfaces.
If you really want to understand Oracle, I recommend using the command line utility SQL*Plus ( or even ORACLE XE that comes along with HTML DB). It is initially very painful and frustrating to get acquainted with SQL*Plus. But will guarantee a big fat payback.Smile

>>2. When I do Show instance in sqlplus is says instance "local' and not the instance name I created. Also I can log on to only one database at a time. How do I set up connect descriptors?
Two options.
1. get into command prompt
set ORACLE_SID=your_sid.
login as sysdba
2. use tns service entires.
create one listener (or two,one for each) that will listen for both databases. Edit your tnsnames.ora and create the tnsentries.
use
sqlplus user/pass@tnsentry1 ##will connect to database 1 identifed in tnsnames.ora
sqlplus user/pass@tnsentry2 ##will connect to dataabse 2 identified in tnsnames.ora

Search this forum/articles/faq sections and google yourself.
There are plenty of examples around.
