Re: Help needed on creating database after Installation

This is a good helping hand if the Oracle is on an NT machine...

Check the log. The dbassist spools everything to a log somewhere on your disks / filesystems.

It is a good idea to make the scripts instead of making the database at once at the end of "dbassist", this gives you a better look of what is going on.
