Re: Oracle on NT Help!

Steve,
Here's how to do it
- Use the NT Instance manager, there is a button New, which creates a new
instance for you, which means also creating a new NT service, called OracleService<instance name>. After successful completion the services are already started.
- Run sqldba71. This is a dos utility in the ora_home\bin directory
(probably in your ORA_NT\BIN directory)
- issue the command SET INSTANCE <the name of your new instance>

• connect as INTERNAL
• startup nomount pfile=init<instance name>.ora (or whatever you named the parameter file)
• create database <database name> controlfiles ... datafiles ... (look for the exact syntax in your manuals). Remember you already should have mentioned your controlfiles in your init<instance name>.ora files. If this succeeds your database is created and opened.
• run the script c:\ora_nt\rdbms71\admin\catalog.sql
• run the script c:\ora_nt\rdbms71\admin\catproc.sql

Hope this helps
