    if you have all the datafiles and ocntrol files then just create a service and start up the database.
    You cannot attach datafiles from one database to another

    As i Describe in my next post to Dave :

    1- I dont have any tools to create services because I formated the Operating
    System Drive so the Oracle DB need to new installation
    which mean
    - I need to overwrite the previous installation
    - Even if I copy the previous files and paste it to original path after new installation how i can make new Services

    2- The Steps of Create a new Services because I'm new to Oracle Techs.

    3- IF there is a new structure for the PC I mean
    Win XP rather WIN 2000 or what else what i can do

    Dear PAVB
    with MS - SQL server I Just attach the mdb file to any new DB even in different structure
    Can I do that with this simplicity with ORACLE DB?

    I Try to use the following solutions :-

    - Make a new ORACLE DB installtion with same structure of previous one.
    -copy the Data File,Redolog File,Control File,Parameter Files to new installation paths and overwrite it aftre shutdown the DB and stop Oracle Services.
    - Also to be more sure I overwrite the files via sofemode to ensure there is no oracle services running.
    - When I try to log to oracle I get the following error message :-
    "Oracle Not initialization or in shudown progress" .


    Dear
    I talk so much but this problem take me over.

    Appreciate your Patient and Activity.
    and again sorry for long describe.

    I knew you had SQL Server background! not that having it is a bad thing, I actually like it pretty much.

    Well... welcome to the Oracle world, as pointed by Dave there is not such a thing as attaching a datafile in Oracle.

    Let me translate Dave's post.

    1-- Make a fresh installation of Oracle binaries.
    2-- Do not create a new Database thinking in adding/attaching to it your old datafiles, wait please.
    3-- Create a new Database POINTING to your old datafiles; to do this follow the standard procedure of clonning a database.
    4-- Startup your database with resetlogs option

    Post your session log.

    Wew... I can see that you have noticed the poster is new to oracle.
    And so instruction #3 and #4 will be very easy for him/her.
