Hi all,

Just starting out with Oracle 8i.

My apologies if these questions have been asked already.

Where are the database files kept in Oracle 8i. For example, SQL Server 7 keeps them in the mssql7\data\ folder under the name of the database and with the .mdf extension. Is there a similar type of setup with Oracle????

Creating new databases seems to be a long process using the gui Database Configuration Assistant. Is there a quicker way or does it usually take very long?

Lastly, Are there any good reference material that covers these type of questions I'm asking. I don't particularly like the Oracle - Complete Reference book as it deals mainly in Sql language and not Server/System setup and config of Oracle 8i.

Thanks in advance.
