Hi, all;
I'm trying to set up an Oracle 8i (8.1.5) database on a Windows 2000
server as a practice run (or six) before helping in a database
rebuild/export/import. I installed the database and Enterprise
Manager mistakenly, yesterday, on the C drive, which didn't have
enough room. Lesson learned: check space available before you start.
At any rate, I got the database instance started, named X, which is
now a Service in Windows Services.
Today, uninstalled everything, re-installed on D, am trying to set up
the database again, but can't use name X. Now, the reason I want to
use name X is because I'm trying to do an import of a full export from
the existing DB, named X. I've been told that you have to build a DB
to import into that is exactly like the one you exported, *before* you
do the import, and I'm pretty sure I've read this, also, at
http://download-east.oracle.com/docs/cd/F49540_01/DOC/index.htm
somewhere. Or at least that it's easier to do this. My question: How
do I delete (or remove) the Service under Windows, that the Oracle
Installer didn't delete? I've gone into the registry, and it's not
under HKLM-SYSTEM-CurrentControlSet-Services. But it *is* under
HKLM-SYSTEM-CurrentControlSet-Root, as LEGACY-ORACLESERVICEX, and the
Registry won't let me edit this at all, but I think this may be the
problem.
I'm trying the import anyway, just to see how things go. This being a testing setup, I can wipe it all and start over as often as I (don't) like to...
Thanks, all, for your help and time.
