Deep breath.... *every* 8i installation includes dbca, if it's been done properly, but it isn't a nice little executable called 'dbca.exe' or anything like that. Usually in ORACLE_HOME/assistants, you'll find a dbca directory. In there is a DBAassist.cl Java class, which is the wee beastie you're after.

You call it by running the launch.exe in the ORACLE_HOME/bin directory. So on Windows, at least, you have to do something like "C:\oracle\ora81\bin\launch.exe C:\oracle\ora81\assistants\dbca DBAssist.cl". Last time I checked, Solaris was little different in this respect.

Except that all the slashes went the wrong way round. ;-)
