Re: Problem with Telnet - startup nomount

Andy,

You are right, it is accessing a remote db though a client. As I understood recently, remote database creation is just not possible for the simple reason that end users might attempt to create dbs on remote servers. Only administration can be remote, not creation.

Correct me if I am wrong.
