Re: Database creation under Solarsi

James,

  While it's not a method that I use, you could always let the Installer program install the default database for you. This is probably the easiest way to create a database on any system. Unfortunately, you'll be left with the defaults that Oracle supplies. Like I said, it's not a method that I use, but it will work.

HTH,
Brian
