Re: Oracle 8i - Create database by non product owner (e.g. oracle)

Assuming "dba" is the group used as the DBA group when the software was installed and/or linked:
make sure dba is the primary group for user oratest. Group "oinstall" is only required when you want to run the OUI but I would recomment to use oracle account only for this.

If this is not the cause, you really must provide more details about the errors.

| Hello,
|
| I am trying to create a database in AIX which is owned by user account
| other than "oracle".
|
| I create a new user named "oratest" and add "oinstall" and "dba" group
| to this user. Then I logon this user and run dbassist.
|
| When Oracle try to create the database, it prompts some errors liked
| "Cannot create database...".
|
| In fact, I would like to know if any experts here have experience
| (about creating database owned by other users) can be shared?
|
| Is Oracle formally support this? Or it requires user create all
| database through 'oracle'?
|
| Thanks in advance.
