W/o a database you have nothing where you can logon to. I suggest that you go to http://technet.oracle.com and get to know Oracle. Or buy a book. There is a good new one (with $15 off at Amazon) "Beginning Oracle Programming": http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/186100690X/qid%3D1019224578/ref%3Dsr%5F11%5F0%5F1/104-6878816-9529554#product-details
