Home -> Community -> Usenet -> c.d.o.misc -> How to create a new database?
I am new to Oracle, and have the following problem. My Oracle Lite
3.0.5.1.6 versjon (ORDBMS) is set up to use the polite-database.
Whenever I log on to SQL*Plus i log on with my username, pasword and
the string "odbc:polite". I have however tried to create a new
database both from the "Oracle Navigator" and from the SQL*Plus
prompt, but I can't figure out how to access it from SQL*Plus.
I know my problem is bad formulated. Let me put it this way: What
should I do to make a new database that is independent from the
polite.dbc? And how do I connect to it with the SQL*Plus? I am
confused with the dialog-box which appears whenever I enter SQL*Plus
"Chose datasource" where my options are several from both
"Fildatasource" and "Computerdatasource". I usually select the option
"POLite (not shareble).dsn" when connecting to the polite database.
If you could explain some of this to a newbe, it would be great!
Thank you very much in advance.
