I have been trying to fathom out how the heck you run SQL*DBA on a Windows NT3.5 client so that I can create my first test database. So far creating a database has completely eluded me. I have been wading through the on-line docs for 2 days now and am bleary eyed but non the wiser. What I really want to know is:

¤How to properly configure my client installation for NT3.5.
¤How to configure and run sql*dba.
¤How to create an Oracle instance identifier.
¤How to start an instance. 
¤What is and where can I get, the Server Manager quoted in the on-line 

docs.
¤A recommendation for any good books that will help with client-server development using Oracle 7.1 and Microsoft Access 2.0 (or VB 3.0).

If anybody can give me a little help or can explain a few basics so that I can get going with this, I would be most grateful.

[background]
Installed (with difficulty due to consistent failure of orainst.exe) Oracle 7.1 workgroup server for windows NT off the 90 day evaluation CD. The server installation seems sound as we can connect to it using ODBC driver supplied, can start and shutdown using database manager from a client installation and can manipulate the example database via SQL*PLUS 3.1. All this using SQL*Net for Named Pipes.
