Re: DB Config. Assistant

Hi Ken,

When you run the database configuration assistant (DBCA) it asks you to provide the sid for the database. You should be able to see the service associated with this database by looking at the "services". Don't know ANY XP but the service should be named "OracleServiceSID". Check to make sure that this service is started. If not you will have to start this service before
you can connect. Assuming that it is started you can connect from a dos window by typing

set oracle_sid="yoursid"
sqlplus system/manager

from here you should be able to query the dd tables.
