Re: Oracle NT ... database via Instance Manager

Umm a little confusion here.

In Oracle7 the GUI version of oradim73 (NT instance manager) is fully supported for creating databases. These database are bare, i.e all they contain is a system tablespace, you will have to create your own tablespaces and rollback segments. I would recommend doing this via the buildall.sql script.

In Oracle8 the GUI version of the oradim80 (NT instance manager) is NOT supported (as described in the getting started guide). I would recommend the Database Assistant, which is a Java tool that also create you tablespaces.
