Wrong. Oracle recommends to set shmmax to the half of the available RAM. 256M in your case. Shouldn't affect dbca though.

First of all, do you have Oracle environment set? You have to have ORACLE_HOME/bin in your path and a score of other environment variables. They are usually set by running oraenv script, but to run it you need to have a database already, or at least an entry in /etc/oratab file.

What happens when you type dbca in the terminal? Does it just hang there or expire without messages? BTW, you can debug dbca, it's a shell script in $ORACLE_HOME/bin, calling a java program. Received on Thu Jul 31 2003 - 09:46:37 CDT
