Re: Solaris 8.0 server -- help creating empty DB!

You donot necessarily have to use Enterprise Manager. I assume the software has been installed. You can use server manager to create the database. Set your oracle environment viz. ORACLE_HOME, LD_LIBRARY_PATH, SQLPATH( $ORACLE_HOME/bin ), ORACLE_SID and type in svrmgrl. This will start the server manager utility and you can use the CREATE DATABASE command to create the database. Info. about this command can be found in the sql command reference. Also, chapter 2 "Creating an Oracle Database" of the Oracle8.0 Administrators guide should be helpful.
