what front end are you using?
you can connect via odbc connection after setting it up via control panel/odbc drivers.
create a system or file dependent connection or dsn...

you can connect via visual basic or visual foxpro or whatever that supports it....delphi, c builder etc... even some java as well.

first to test the new install go into sql plus and log in....default is scott/tiger

you can establish your own account via the navigator.

after in sql*plus you can type :
'select * from emp;' which will give you all the data in the emp table.

Have fun...
