Re: Delete and recreate a database

Tom,

Thank you, you answered my question. I meant that it seem like other NTers use different methods to delete and recreate a db and I thought that the oradim utility was used for that purpose. I need to read up more on the utility I guess.

Oh and I keep forgetting that there are a few of you using unix. :)
