I made the entirely reasonable extrapolation that someone who was unfamiliar with Oracle would choose to either (a) let the universal installer perform the db configuration, (b) use DBCA to install a general purpose database, or (c) if he wanted to study otext, and was brave enough to choose a custom database, he would not deselect the 'Oracle Text' option from the DBCA screen. So while I agree that "We don't all use the pre-cooked databases, or use DBCA and accept everything", I'll bet you OP did. Received on Mon Dec 08 2008 - 13:12:42 CST
