Oracle Database structure is a little bit strange for me, especially the
database structure based on (if I have correctly understand !) multiples
files and one instance.
Why can't the database be located in only one file ?
If I get a file *.odb from somewhere else (it's the one which contain tha data I think), how can I build an instance associated with this file ?
Do I have to build another database and import the data from this file ? If yes, what is the procedure (I've read something about a control file to load data, but nothing else...)
Thanks a lot for any explanations... Received on Mon Aug 09 1999 - 12:10:51 CDT
