Hey All ...

I'm attempting to create a database, and have modified initorcl.ora to reflect a new database as follows:

initpidb.ora

---

db_name = pidb

control_files = (D:\ORANT\DATABASE\ctl1pidb.ora, D:\ORANT\DATABASE\ctl2pidb.ora) // Are these changes needed?

---

After setting ORACLE_SID=pidb and then proceeding to startup the instance, I received the following:

C:\>svrmgr23

Oracle Server Manager Release 2.3.3.0.0 - Production

Thanks for all previous assistance!
