Re: Absolute NewBie : Unable To Start SQL !

1 Oracle 7.2 is too old and unsupported 2 Win 98 didn't exist when 7.2 came out. 7.2 will probably not run on win 98 at all
3 Unless you have personal oracle, the database should reside on a server. If you didn't change any default the connect string is ORCL
