Hello.
[Quoted] I'm hoping that someone will spare me a couple of minutes on this. I have downloaded the latest version of the Oracle9i Developer Suite Release 2 (9.0.2.0.1) for Windows (NT/2000/XP)

I have windows XP Home Ed. non networked.

I have this in my tnsnames.ora

# TNSNAMES.ORA Network Configuration File:
C:\OraHome1\network\admin\tnsnames.ora
# Generated by Oracle configuration tools.

TALLY =
  (DESCRIPTION =
    (ADDRESS_LIST =
      (ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = THost)(PORT = 1521))     )
    (CONNECT_DATA =
      (SERVICE_NAME = TSid)
    )
  )

But can't find a username/password/Host combination that works.

Could someone tell me what I need to do to set up a database please?

Thanks.
