Hi, I'm trying to create an Oracle 7.2 database running on WinNT and I cannot seem to do it when I try to put my configuration and datafiles anywhere outside the ORACLE_HOME directory. I tried to create a separate directory for my development environment to place my development database but I always get a database creation error when I run the script. It's OK when I do it in the ORANT directory (default ORACLE_HOME directory).

The reason I need to do this is that ORACLE_HOME is in a partition with only a small amt of disk space, and the database I'm going to create could potentially be very huge. The only partition big enough is in another partition. I've given myself full administrative privileges on the OS and database levels.

Has anyone ever encountered such a problem, or is this an Oracle for NT bug?

Thanks,
