You will also have to run your create database command giving the system tablespace and redo log locations. You will want to create a rollback segment or two and then edit your init file to include the rollback segments at start time. Then create your tablespaces and you should have an empty database ready to go.
Alec PS oh yeah you will have to run catalog.sql and catproc.sql. Then you should be ready to go :) -----Original Message----- Sent: Wednesday, May 01, 2002 11:24 AM To: Multiple recipients of list ORACLE-L Hi all, I want to know when you want to create a new database before that do you have to create a new instance first if yes HOW?
