Help Using Oracle (In General)
749010Jan 26 2010 — edited Jan 30 2010I am new to Linux and Oracle, so please bear with me.
I finally was able to install Oracle 11g on my CentOS computer. (This took a long time...I'm a slow learner).
Now I'm trying to create an database or just trying to USE Oracle. Where and how do I create an new database?
I searched around this forum and saw that you should use the command "dbca" to create a database.
If this is true, I have several questions:
1. Where do I type this command (on root or on oracle user)?
2. Do I need to be in a specific directory?
3. How exactly do I use the command "dbca"?
I appreciate any help I can get. But please I need step by step solutions; providing me with a link to an Oracle documentation guide hasn't helped me.
http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B19306_01/server.102/b14231/create.htm#g1034097 <--This guide is very confusing and not clear in it's directions.
Or maybe, does anyone know of an Oracle Tutorial for Dummies? This would help too. ;-)
Thanks again.
Note: Remember, I am new to Linux AND Oracle. Thank you!
