Upon installation I can request that the initial database be created. This works great and I can use this database to my heart's content. My problem occurs when I try to create a different database in a different location on my hard drive. I created a new init.ora file (init2.ora) with the new database name (csce) and with an entry for where the controlfile should be located, and then I entered sqldba and issued the commands: SQLDBA> startup nomount pfile=init2.ora SQLDBA> connect internal SQLDBA> create database csce 2> logfile 'c:\ora\log1.ora' size 200 K, logfile 'c:\ora\log2.ora' size 200 K 3> datafile 'c:\ora\dbs1.ora' size 2 M, 'c:\ora\dbs2.ora' size 2 M 4> noarchivelog; after crunching for awhile and actually creating the files in c:\ora I get the following message: run-time error R6000 - stack overflow and, naturally, the database does not work and cannot be opened. Does anyone have a clue as to what my problem is? Mark Roth mroth@afit.af.mil 513-255-9263
