Some assumptions:

1. Something is installed,
2. On an operating system

I would guess the answer to 1) is 'a database', and further I'd guess that the database is one of the downloadable versions of Oracle.

I would further guess that, since you assume we know what you are doing, the you have installed this on a Windows platform. Since you were able to created a database, likely you have completed some form of install.

If any of these guesses are right, I would suggest you might want to go back to http://otn.oracle.com/obe/start/index.html - that is an Oracle Karaoke "follow the bouncing ball, to have a successful install" site. There are a lot of follow up examples there as well. Received on Sat Jan 03 2004 - 20:46:10 CET
