quick oracle theory help

[gwu]

I installed oracle and I guess it created a database called orcl. How do I add more databases in oracle. In MS SQL I used enterprise manager which gives me a tree view of all databases. How do I do it with the web based admin that comes with oracle? With MS SQL I created a "database" for every web app that I had. Is that how I would be using oracle as well, theoretically?

thanks

Hi,
You don't..What SqlServer calls databases are schemas in Oracle..

Nothing ( or practically nothing) you know abpout SqlServer will be of any help in Oracle and will, most often, cause you to do things wrong..

Go to

http://otn.oracle.com

and register for Technet( it is free ),then read the Documentation ( especially the Concepts and DBA manuals)..

Oracle is not a system you can really learn by doing...
You can also review the docs and errors at

http://tahiti.oracle.com

( Much of Oracle info is version-specific, so, next time, please give the exact version of the database and what OS and Version is it installed on, and what is the Client's OS/Version)

Happy learning..

The Database Creation Assistant is probably the closest you can come to what you are looking for. You can use it to create a new database...
