DB Config. Assistant

[KENNETH JANUSZ]

9i on XP Prof. on DELL PC (no network)   I tried to use DBCA to create a DB on my PC. I have never used this tool before.  It appeared to run OK with no errors.  However, when I query the V$ views I don't see it and I cannot connect to it.  I ran DBCA twice to create the DB and the second time I didn't get any error message saying the DB already existed.  I don't know that I should since I have never used DBCA before.    If there is anyone out there that have used this tool before please give me some insight into it.   Thanks and have a good day,   Ken Janusz, CPIM
