Thank!

I am running windows 2000 now. Actually, i execute the installation script and provided by other. Then it will install and configure the database for me. It works normally. i can do use the client and connect to that database. The database files format is *.ora (data.ora, index.ora) not *.dbf. (noramlly data.dbf, index,dbf) First, I want to ask what is the different in data format between *.ora and *.dbf?
