Rauf,

Suggest you take that question in context and not snip the next paragraph.

The first sentance of the next paragraph says "While there is nothing wrong with doing so, many who ask that question have a basic misunderstanding of Oracle."

As a result of the second paragraph, this should not have been interpreted as an attack or as a discouragement.

Since OP indicated problems accessing SQL, I concluded that OP was attempting to jump start into Oracle from other RDBMSs. In addition, the way to OP worded the question indicated possible lack of reading. That raised red flags.

So, I repeat - there is nothing wrong with creating databases manually, at least for learning purposes. (Or at least, there WAS nothing wrong, but with the changes in philosophy toward fundamentalism in 10g ...)

Or are you arguing against understanding the OPs motivation?
