I will be creating a new database from a DDL SQL script on a W2000 server using 8.1.7.

My previous experience has been in the Unix world so the Registry is something new to me. The server has the Oracle demo DB installed. I need to create this new DB and the Oracle Post-Installation DB Creation guide says that I need to update the ORACLE SID in the Registry if I am going to create a new DB.

So, I need to become familiar with this Registry thing. Is the Registry located on my client PC or the server? And, how do I access it and make the necessary changes to the SID? I have administrator access on the server.

Keep your answers simple please because I am new the Registry

Thanks,
