Re: Create a Oracle DataBase in Delphi program

Well, I suppose you could treat the job as a "restore cold backup" procedure. Any Oracle database consists of the datafiles it uses in a directory tree. It is entirely possible to stop the database (shutdown the instance), backup the directory tree and delete the directory tree. Then restore the tree, startup the instance and Oracle is not aware of a change!

So, the Delphi program would just restore the directory tree on another machine and that's that. But there are some registry entries and some NT services which have to be installed. I don't know how essential these are - Oracle runs on Unix/Linux so you may find they are nice to haves. You may be able to start the instance from SVRMGRL - you'd have to try. Of course, things like the TNS Listener have to be run as a service on NT. Suck it and see is my recommendation.

What is it you are trying to do anyway?
