Hi,
I've just installed Oracle8 on Linux. Oracle's installation instructions didn't work, so I used the instructions at http://jordan.fortwayne.com/oracle/index.html, which includes a step to install the sample database.
I don't know if I have this sample database, however, in fact I can't connect as scott/tiger in svrmgrl. I just get "ORA-01017: invalid username/password; logon denied".

Could someone tell me how can I tell if the sample db is there or not (I've already connected as internal and done a startup), for example what tables are in it, so I can do a simple select statement which'll tell me if it exists.

thanks,
