Hi,

I'm new to oracle and have to implement a java tool using JDBC to create and drop a oracle 9i database (finally it should work on all platforms, but linux is the main platform).

I've found documentation on the "create database" statement, but with its many parameters it's very confusing. And I even don't know which user/password combination is allowed to execute this statement.

And to drop a database seems even harder...

Can someone tell me whether this is doable with java and how to do it? Ready to compile/run java source is welcome, too ;)

Thanks in advance,
