Creating a new database service via Oradim command

Hi all,
I have seen a couple of threads on the above and usually confirmed by user (who asked it) that the issue has been resolved. Anyway, i am in the same situation. I have tried to execute the following command but have received the usual error (given below):
C:\Users\XYZ>oradim -new -sid test -syspwd password -startmode auto -pfile D:\oracle\product\10.2.0\admin\orcl\pfile\init.ora
OPW-00001: Unable to open password-file
DIM-00014: Cannot open the Windows NT Service Control Manager.
O/S-Error: (OS 5) Access is denied.
Additionally I have run this command on the Windows 7 Ultimate edition O.S and have removed all restrictions on pfile folder in order to allow it to be used by any user.
please help!
Thanks and Cheers!

Is this what you want?

HELP: Problem creating a new database in Oracle 9i

I am having difficulty in creating a new database in Oracle 9i, on Windows 2000. I would be obliged if somebody can go through the posting below and guide me as to what mistake I am making or what is the source of the problem:
I reproduce the steps taken by me.
I have decide the database to be called Mydb. I have made the following directories:
-- d:\mydb
-- d:\mydb\data
-- d:\mydb\control
-- d:\mydb\log
-- d:\mydb\bdump
-- d:\mydb\cdump
-- d:\mydb\udump
-- d:\mydb\archive
-- d:\mydb\pfile
-- d:\mydb\scripts
-- d:\mydb\exp
I copied the initoracle.ora file to d:\mydb\pfile\initmydb.ora, and made the following changes to it:
-- db_name = mydb
-- instance_name = mydb
-- control_files = ("d:\mydb\control\control01.ctl")
-- background_dump_dest = d:\mydb\bdump
-- core_dump_dest = d:\mydb\cdump
-- user_dump_dest = d:\mydb\udump
-- remote_login_passwordfile = exclusive
Also, I created a text file called d:\Oracle\Ora90\DATABASE\initmydb.ora with the following contents:
ifile=d:\mydb\pfile\initmydb.ora
At DOS prompt, I run the following command:
set oracle_sid=mydb
I run the ORAPWD utility to create internal password file at the command prompt.
d:
cd \oracle\ora90\database
orapwd file=pwdmydb.ora password=panther entries=25
I create a Windows service for the database as follows:
oradim -new -sid mydb -startmode a -pfile d:\mydb\pfile\initmydb.ora
I get connected:
sqlplusw /nolog
connect sys/change_on_install as sysdba
startup nomount # pfile=d:\mydb\pfile\initmydb.ora
create database mydb
MAXINSTANCES 1
MAXLOGHISTORY 1
MAXLOGFILES 5

AUTOEXTEND ON NEXT 10240K MAXSIZE UNLIMITED
undo tablespace undotbs datafile 'd:\mydb\data\undo01.dbf' size

group 2 ('d:\mydb\log\log2.log') size 1m,
group 3 ('d:\mydb\log\log3.log') size 1m;
Now I get the following error:
create database mydb
ERROR at line 1:
ORA-01092: ORACLE instance terminated. Disconnection forced
The data files, control file, redo log files are all created. But the above error comes, and I am unable to start the database. What is the reason?
Thanks in anticipation.
PS

Hi DENIS,
I have executed the following commands (which are in a script file),
1. sqlplus /nolog
2. connect sys/change_on_install as sysdba
3. create database ...
4. ...
When I execute the 3rd command, I get an error message as "ORACLE TERMINATED FORCED" and it will end the session. So when the next set of commands in the script are executed, I got the error saying "DATABASE NOT OPEN".
How to rectify this problem.
Thanks in advance,
Kiran

Newbie.... How do I create a new database in mysql????

I have added the mysql service, but I have no idea where the front end is, or how to access it so that I can create a new database, and set the user name and PW for this database??? I am used to using things like MAMP and XAMP, where it has the web front end. Does OSX server have the same thing? I want to configure a test Joomla test site.... Thank you...

There's no built-in GUI for managing MySQL in Mac OS X, but you're free to install any of the MySQL tools to do so if you're not up to managing it via the command line.
There's the free PHPMyAdmin, or the commercial NaviCat, amongst others.

Create a new Database in an other server using a copie of RMAN backup

Hi all,
I want to create an other instance for our production database. We have disk and tape in rman backup. My question is can i create a new database using our disk backup in an other server?
If some procedure or steps is there, email it to my adresse [email protected]
Hamid.
Thanks

By means of the use of Recovery Manager it is possible to duplicate a database out from a previously taken rman backup. The method will be outlined in the next few lines.
Let's assume a source database named SRCDB and the target database, named GEMINI. A unix like environment is assumed, but it can be implemented on windows as well, just beware of the particular Oracle implementation on a windows platform (orapwd file name, service creation, path format)
1. Create a password file for the Cloned (GEMINI) instance:
orapwd file=/u01/app/oracle/product/9.2.0.1.0/dbs/orapwGEMINI password=password entries=10
2. Configure tnsnames.ora and listner.ora
Properly identify the database at the tnsnames.ora and have the instance manually registered against the listener.ora files, both files located at the $ORACLE_HOME/network/admin directory.
2.a Manually register the database against the listener (listener.ora)
(SID_DESC =
(ORACLE_HOME = /u01/app/oracle/product/9.2.0.1.0)
(SID_NAME = GEMINI)
2.b Added the target GEMINI to the tnsnames.ora
GEMINI =
(DESCRIPTION =
(ADDRESS_LIST =
(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = myhost.mydomain.com)(PORT = 1521))
(CONNECT_DATA =
(ORACLE_SID = GEMINI)
2.c Reload the listener
lsnrctl reload
3. Create a new init.ora for the cloned database.
Next create an init.ora file for the cloned database. In case the same paths cannot be used on the target host, either because it is the same source host or because those paths are not reproducible on the target, then DB_FILE_NAME_CONVERT and LOG_FILE_NAME_CONVERT may be required to be defined
DB_NAME=GEMINI
CONTROL_FILES=(/u02/oradata/GEMINI/control01.ctl,
/u02/oradata/GEMINI/control02.ctl,
/u02/oradata/GEMINI/control03.ctl)
# Convert file names to allow for different directory structure.
DB_FILE_NAME_CONVERT=(/u02/oradata/SRCDB/,/u02/oradata/GEMINI/)
LOG_FILE_NAME_CONVERT=(/u01/oradata/SRCDB/,/u01/oradata/GEMINI/)
# block_size and compatible parameters must match those of the source database
DB_BLOCK_SIZE=8192
COMPATIBLE=9.2.0.0.0
4. Connect to the cloned instance
ORACLE_SID=GEMINI; export ORACLE_SID
sqlplus /nolog
conn / as sysdba
5. Create an SPFILE based on the init.ora
CREATE SPFILE FROM PFILE='/u01/app/oracle/admin/GEMINI/pfile/init.ora';
6. Start the database in NOMOUNT mode:
STARTUP FORCE NOMOUNT;
7. Connect to the TARGET, CATALOG and AUXILIARY databases.
By means of the rman three connections are open, one for the Source Database (SOURCEDB), another for the Catalog database (RCAT), and one more for the cloned database (GEMINI)
ORACLE_SID=GEMINI; export ORACLE_SID
rman TARGET sys/password@SRCDB CATALOG rman/rman@RCAT AUXILIARY /
8. Complete or Incomplete clone (recover)
From the rman the database using one of the following commands:
8.a Clone the database by means of a complete recover.
DUPLICATE TARGET DATABASE TO GEMINI;
8.b Clone the database up to a defined point in time in the past by means of an incomplete recover
DUPLICATE TARGET DATABASE TO GEMINI UNTIL TIME 'SYSDATE-2';
9. Process finished.
Once the process is finished, the newly created GEMINI database is ready to be used as an independent new cloned database.

Creating a new database in Oracle Database 10g...

I have downloaded a copy of Oracle Database 10g Express Edition from Oracle's website. I am using Windows XP. I am trying to create an Oracle database that I can connect to from Access 2003 via ODBC.
1. How do I create a new database? I can see options to create tables, views, etc. but not a database.
2. I have created a System DSN connection in the ODBC Data Source Administrator for the Oracle ODBC driver. Once I create a database in Oracle, how do I actually establish a connection to it from Access? The ODBC code to connect is there, but when I run it, I get an error.
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

1. How do I create a new database? I can see options to create tables, views, etc. but not a database.If you can see those options then you are already connected to the database. You probably want to create a user, not a database (are you by chance coming from SQL Server?)
driver={OracleDriver};Dbq=TESTDBQ;Uid=Administrator;Pwd=;You would replace "Administrator" with the name of the user you created in the database.

Creating a new database containing part of an existing database,same server

Hi All Experts,
I have a problem. I am trying to create a new database on a server which already has a database (named qadb10g) running on it. I want the new database to contain only a few tablspaces of the "qadb10g" database. I tried this approach.
1. Take an RMAN backup of the desired tablespaces from the source database (qadb10g), including system and undo tablespaces as well.
2. Use "SET NEWNAME FOR DATAFILE ..." RMAN commands to restore all the data files in the new disk location on the same server.
3. Run "ALTER DATABASE BACKUP CONTROLFILE TO TRACE" command in the "qadb10g" database to generate a "create controlfile...." script.
4. Edit the resulting file (from step 3) to change file locations and database name, instance name, etc.
5. Create a new init.ora file for the new database.
6. From an sql*plus session, with "ORACLE_SID" already set to new database name, run the "create controlfile ..." script which we generated and changed above.
I performed steps 1-5 successfully, But when I ran the step 6 command, I got an error saying "Datafile Header contains database name 'qadb10g' which is not maching the <newdb name> .....".
This means, the database datafiles which were backed up and restored from the 'qadb10g' database still contain the same db name in their header and this is preventing new control file from being created. So, the new datbase cannot be created. Can anbody help me how to resolve this problem???
Any urgent help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

At Step 4, did you use the SET <newdbname> in the create controlfile script ?
At Step 5, did you change the db_name in the pfile ?
nid is the new and easier way to change the database name.

Problem in Creating a new database in Oracle 9i

I have installed Oracle 9i for Windows successfully. Now when I try to create a new database either using the Database Configuration Assistant or using the script generated by the Assistant, I get an error message that DATABASE NOT OPEN. So the database will not be created. Please help in this regard, so that I can create a database and I can start working on Oracle 9i.
Thanks in advance.

How to Create A new Database in the oracle 10g XE

Hi there 785434,
(This is a generic SQL question relating to Database Triggers, please post future questions of this type into the relevant forum area.)
Moderator, please move this if able
I use Before Update and Before Delete Triggers to record a 'snapshot' of the row being changed in my applications.
Example:
CREATE TABLE TEST
DATA VARCHAR2(64 CHAR),
CREATING_USERID VARCHAR2(20 CHAR) DEFAULT user NOT NULL,
CREATED_DATE DATE NOT NULL,
CHANGED_BY_USERID VARCHAR2(20 CHAR),
CHANGED_DATE DATE
LOGGING
STORAGE
(MAXEXTENTS UNLIMITED);
CREATE TABLE TEST_HISTORY
DATA VARCHAR2(64 CHAR),
CREATING_USERID VARCHAR2(20 CHAR) DEFAULT user NOT NULL,
CREATED_DATE DATE NOT NULL,
CHANGED_BY_USERID VARCHAR2(20 CHAR),
CHANGED_DATE DATE,
CHANGE_DESCRIPTION
NOLOGGING
STORAGE
(MAXEXTENTS UNLIMITED);
CREATE OR REPLACE TRIGGER TRG_BU_TEST
BEFORE UPDATE ON TEST FOR EACH ROW
BEGIN
INSERT /*+ append */ INTO TEST_HISTORY
(DATA, CREATING_USERID, CREATED_DATE, CHANGED_BY_USERID, CHANGED_DATE, CHANGE_DESCRIPTION)
VALUES
(:old.DATA, :old.CREATING_USERID, :old.CREATED_DATE, USER, SYSDATE, 'UPDATE');
END;
CREATE OR REPLACE TRIGGER TRG_BD_TEST
BEFORE DELETE ON TEST FOR EACH ROW
BEGIN
INSERT /*+ append */ INTO TEST_HISTORY
(DATA, CREATING_USERID, CREATED_DATE, CHANGED_BY_USERID, CHANGED_DATE, CHANGE_DESCRIPTION)
VALUES
(:old.DATA, :old.CREATING_USERID, :old.CREATED_DATE, USER, SYSDATE, 'DELETE');
END;
Using triggers like this will record who made an update or delete to the database and record the row before it was changed.
Note that this method might not be suitable for very high transaction rates.
You will need to 'clear' these history tables as part of routine maintenance.
Hope that this Helps.

How to create a new DataBase using Oracle 10g Express Edition???

Hello, I am new to Oracle, I am used to Microsoft SQL Server (Enterprise Manager).
Here in Oracle I do not get how do I create a DataBase, and then create tables on it.
could anyone please explain to me how to do it?

A SQL Server database is roughly equivalent to an Oracle schema.
You should rarely need to create a new database. If you do need to create a database, get a 'for fee' edition of Oracle and use the dbca tool (Database Configuration Assistant) to do that. In fact, you are only allowed to have one XE database on the machine.
However, you can create as many schemas in an existing Oracle database as you need. (One schema, owned by userid SYS, is roughly equal to your 'master catalog'.)
You can create other schemas simply by
1) creating a userid that will own the schema (one designated for maintenance of the schema);
2) grant that userid appropriate privileges, such as 'CREATE TABLE', 'CREATE VIEW' as shown in the SQL Reference manual under the GRANT section;
3) provide that userid with a quota in one or more tablespaces (see the CREATE USER command in the SQL Reference manual);
4) create the objects, such as tabels, views, sequences, stored procs and functions, etc. (as in the SQL Reference manual);
5) create the users who will access the objects, and grant them the CREATE SESSION capability (as in the SQL Reference manual);
6) grant access (select, update, execute, etc.) on the schema objects to these users (as in the SQL Reference manual);
7) if desired, create synonyms on the schema objects so the users do not need to use fully qualified syntax such as "SELECT col FROM schema.table;" (as in the SQL Reference manual).
In case you are interested in looking at the SQL Reference manual, it can be found at http://www.oracle.com/pls/db102/portal.portal_db?selected=1 ;-)

How to create a new database and use it?

Hi there,
I have so many tables in the current database that i'm working on. When i start to create a new table such as employee, student, person...etc it doesnt allow me to create them becuase it says the tables exists. Even when i use the drop command to drop the tables, doesn't help. So most of the time i have to create a table with postfix of 1, 2 to the table name.
Therefore i need to create a database for every project that i do.
How do i create a new database?
Then how do i use the database that i just created?
Then how do i find the out whats the database that i'm currently working on?
Thanks!

A database is a physical set of files that contains many schemas. Each schema has a one to one relationship with database users, so to create a new schema you create a new database user.
e.g.
CREATE USER fred IDENTIFIED BY fredspassword;Then, by logging on as fred you can create all the new tables you like as that user, in that users schema.
If you create a new database then you will find you cannot access functions/procedures, packages, tables etc. that exist in another users schema without creating a database link to the other database that contains them.
If you just create a new schema, you can more easily get at other users schema objects (tables, packages etc.) by referencing them with the users name e.g. JOE.TABLE1 providing that user has given permission for your user to access them. You can also create synonyms that allow you to reference other users schema objects as if they exist in your own e.g. you can have something called TABLE1 in your own schema that is in fact referencing JOE.TABLE1.

Some strange after create a new database

Hi All,
I try to create a new database on the Win 2000 ORA8I server (existing have 1 db already), after using the DBCA create it, I try to connect to new DB, but I found that all the control file are point to the old db's.
I've check that there are 2 SID (2 SID service found in services), tnsname is point to 2 different sid, listener also point to 2 different sid, below is the part of listener.ora and tnsname.ora
SID_LIST_LISTENER =
(SID_LIST =
(SID_DESC =
(GLOBAL_DBNAME = SVR1)
(ORACLE_HOME = d:\oracle\ora81)
(SID_NAME = SVR1)
(SID_DESC =
(GLOBAL_DBNAME = SVR2)
(ORACLE_HOME = D:\oracle\ora81)
(SID_NAME = SVR2)
)

I found that the problem is not so simple....
I try to recreate the servicesid and listener, without start the old sid service, the new SID cannot (should be "can") connect to new DB, but.
When I try to start the new SID and old SID at the same time, the new and old SID will connect to the same old DB.
I try to stop the old service again, both new and old SID cannot connect to DB.
try to recreate the service and listener and only start the new sid service, the sid can connect to new DB again.........
does anybody can tell me what's going on ?? I will be crazy......

Programmatically creating a new database

Is there a way to programmatically create a new database?

Thank you,

whatever you command u exec at the DB to create a new DB u can run it over JDBC using a CallableStatment. I guess that what you should be doing.

Create a new database on machine which already has one database running?

Hi,
How can I create a new database on machine which already has one database running on Windows platform?
I am totally new to DB and this is the first time I am creating a database.
When I installed Oracle on windows platform database MYDB got created.
Now I want to create another database with the following command on the same machine.
CREATE DATABASE TESTDB
     DATAFILE 'F:\oracle\oradata\testdb\system01.dbf' SIZE 250M REUSE
     CHARACTER SET US7ASCII
LOGFILE
     GROUP 1 ('F:\oracle\oradata\testdb\redo01.log') SIZE 10M,
     GROUP 2 ('F:\oracle\oradata\testdb\redo02.log') SIZE 10M;
But it doesn't work. I unmounted the DB MYDB and then again tried above command. But still didnt work.
How can I create a new database on machine which already has one database running on Windows platform?
Any sort of guidance is appreciated. Thanx in advance.

Creating a New Help Service

Hi,
I am trying to create a new help service for my web template. To trigger this i use the URL Command (cmd=process_help_window,item=item_1). The Help service class has been created as an ABAP class. How do i control what method of the ABAP object will be called in this case ? Will the process_help_window call up a default method or does it need to be supplied ?
Thanks
Shailesh

Sorry the command that i use is
&CMD=PROCESS_HELP_WINDOW&HELP_SERVICE=<my_new_service>&ITEM=<my_item> where i have registered the service my_new_service to the item my_item. The class to which this service points is specified in the item properties.
Thanks

How can I create a new database?

Hi,
can anyone tell me the steps I have to do if I want to create a new database? Can I perform this operation from the console of the Enterprise Manager or from the DBA studio?
Thank you.

You can use DBAssist to create Database of your own desire. No need to go anywhere if u r working on 8i.
If this sounds good to u then steps can be followed.
