I am on Solaris using 8.1.7.3 to create an istance 1. startup nomount pfile=init<sid>.ora - run this from svrmgrl connected internal 2. create database command 3. run catalog and catproc (i also run catexp) 4. create my tablespaces 5. create my rollback segments 6. edit init<sid>.ora to load rollbacks at start time (not load really just set to online I believe)
At this point you have an empty database which you can add users and tables.

You do this by using the ORADIM utility or you could use database configuration assistant. I think most folks prefer oradim. You did not say what platform/version. This is for Oracle 8.1 on Win NT/2000 Oradim syntax ORADIM -NEW -SID <SID> -INTPWD <password> -STARTMODE <mode> -PFILE <pfile> where: <SID> -- the database SID <password> -- is the password for INTERNAL <mode> -- is the startup mode for the services, either AUTO or MANUAL <pfile> -- is the full path and name of the INIT<sid>.ORA file Review the ORADIM log file for any errors.

This is my first step for create a new database(or instance). ORACLE_SID=TEST export ORACLE_SID CONNECT INTERNAL STARTUP NOMOUNT PFILE ='PATH/initTEST.ORA' ----->> BUT HERE IN INIT FILE WE HAVE TO MENTINED THE CONTROL FILE THIS SHOULD BE JUST THE LOCATION & NAME ??
