I was told by one Oracle instructor that new features of 9i, including Oracle Managed Files, could allow you to create a viable production database by simply typing CREATE DATABASE -- once the init.ora (SPFILE?) was created and the hardware layed out properly. Perhaps not something many will use,

Hi! Actually you can issue just create database with non-OMF configuration in 9i as well. The command creates files like log1orcl.ora, log2orcl.ora, dbsorcl.ora, und1orcl.ora under $OH/dbs (or $OH/database as I tested on windows with 9.2.0.4). Tanel. - Original Message - To: Multiple

Dennis, There is an option to just create a script for you based on your critaria and then you can modify it according to your requirement before creating the database. I think I used this almost 1 year back so don't remember exactly at what stage it ask for this option... Regards Rafiq

Dennis and Rafiq, When you use the dbca you are prompted for this option at the end i.e. create scripts or create the DB. I HIGHLY recommend you go with the 'create script' option as this allows you to QA the Oracle Intelligence before kicking it off. It also serves as a good tutorial on what is

Ryan If you (or whoever) is using dbca, I believe all this is configured automatically. But watch the block size. That is the only thing you can't change later. Dennis Williams DBA, 80%OCP, 100% DBA Lifetouch, Inc. [EMAIL PROTECTED] -Original Message- Sent: Tuesday, September

Little tidbits I kind of like is setting a default temporary tablespace and setting it in the create database statement. You can also change the sys and system passwords in the create database statement. Plus, you can create the undo tablespace there too. I seem to be creating a lot of

Ryan dbca is indeed available with Solaris. I used it today in fact. What I've learned about it is: - It runs in X-Windows. I don't have much expertise with X-Windows, but it seems to run fine from the Solaris console. - Unable to create a block size greater than 8k, at least what I've
