Database Creation

It is now a full week that I am trying to install and create a database without any success.

I believe I have read all there was to read on the web and news group about oracle problems but I think I am missing something.

Yes I use a Pentium 4 with windows 2000 and need to install Oracle 8i v8.1.7 from a CD.

How do we clean the PC of all unsuccessful install?

How do we get rid of the JAVA bug?

How do we create a successful database?

Every time I try to create this database I end up with the error

ORA-12631 Username retrieval failed

This is what I have done:

To enable tracing at the server, find the sqlnet.ora file for the server and add the following lines:

TRACE_LEVEL_SERVER = 16 TRACE_UNIQUE_SERVER = ON To enable tracing at the client, find the sqlnet.ora file for the client and add the following lines:

TRACE_LEVEL_CLIENT = 16 TRACE_UNIQUE_CLIENT = ON To enable tracing at the listener, find the listener.ora file and add the following line:

TRACE_LEVEL_listener_name = 16

Reproduce the problem, so that you generate traces on the client and server. Now analyze the traces generated.

I have modified these files and reproduced the problem but how do we analyse the traces generated and what do we do about it.

Thank You so much.
