Windows SQLPlsus

[jmycr]

I have just installed Oracle 9i for Windows XP Pro and am unfamiliar with the initial setup of Oracle. I have been using Postgres and MySQL on Unix, and have decided to try out Oracle on Windows.

Can anyone suggest a good tutorial on the initial setup and initial procedures for logging on?

All I really need to know is how to initially login using the SQLPlus environment.

I do not believe I will start using the GUI interface until i am comfortable with the command line interface of SQLPlus since my prior DB experience on UNIX is strictly command line.

Thanx

couple of questions - do you have a database running?

if not run dbca from the command line or choose it from the start menu.

Create a test database for yourself and configure a listener (netca will do this for you)

then from the command line do sqlplus system/manager@ db_name being the same as the one you just created (the password may be different)

go take a look at http://tahiti.oracle.com (its free) for all the docs and search for whatever you want
