Re: Req help: Oracle 8.0.5 Server Edition and RedHat Linux 6.1, creating a new SID

[Quoted] Hi Alex,

I saw your Deja post on creating an Oracle DB on Linux. I recently installed Oracle 8.0.5 on Linux and was wondering about things like creating new instances, tablespaces, users, tables, etc. I sucsessfully set up the test DB and installed some tables from the O'Reilly SQL*Plus book - but did it in Scott/Tiger's schema - just was wondering how to do it for a new
user/schema/instance. Can you recommend a resource to learn these basics (from the command line - i don't think my 8.0.5 linux ee comes with the enterprise manager) or do you know of any FAQ's, scripts, etc. I'll bet there's loads of people who could use this info! This is a good start but more on the other things would be helpful. Thanks in advance,
