It is a very hard system to learn from scratch, without actual classroom instruction..

Reread the docs about installing and creating a initial database instance..( Using the database creation utility - should have run right after the software install)..

( Note, you have a very,very old and unsupported version - try and find some way to get at least the 9.2 version..see if www.oracle.com has a version that is easier to download, or perhaps a place to purchase a CD version of the new XE - Oracle Express)) Received on Fri Nov 04 2005 - 12:37:51 CST
