Re: Oracle 7.3.4 question

Oracle Server runs on NT 4.0 server edition only. If you don't run NT server on that standalone PC you will not be able to create a database. 'The CD contains Enterprise Manager software": this means you are talking about the client CD, there should be two CDs in the box, OEM is on the client CD. This contains software to connect to a server only. If you want to create a standalone database own your own pc, either your pc needs to be of the server type or you need Personal Oracle.
