You probably need to create a database first. If I remember it right,
you can start installer and choose something like "Create sample
database". Another way is using Enterprise Manager (dbca). If you have
a lot of time and not afraid of writing and debugging a script, you
can also use CREATE DATABASE statement from sqlplus. In this case you
also have to create init.ora file manually.
