Hello.

I'm trying to create a new database (Oracle 8.0.5 on Windows NT4.0).

I've got another database, and the services are running
('OracleTNSListener80', 'OracleStartMYSID' and 'OracleServiceMYSID')

On MS-DOS, I perform:

c:> oradim80 -new -sid BACKUP -intpwd xxx -startmode auto -pfile
initBACKUP.ora

+ I copied initBACKUP.ora from initMYSID.ora, and modified it.

+ BACKUP is the name of my new database

When trying to check if OracleServiceBACKUP is running, I notice that
it's not.

So, I do:

c:> net start OracleServiceBACKUP

But I get this error message:

**** service name is not valid ****

Any experience? Regards.
