thanks a lot for your answer! I had checked the online manuals, for "create database" but couldnt find this info. So I wont create the database remotely. But I wonder if it is the right way if network applikations cant create the database to save their data. Thus installation will be more complicated and customers dont like that. Sure dbas want to keep their job, but perhaps today this is not creating databases but administrating, configuring, tuning etc. Am I wrong? Received on Fri Apr 27 2001 - 12:07:38 CEST
