TEST Database:
1, Run SQL Plus, could not connect to database, Got error messageL ORA-1031.
2, Found information from Oracle Web, Somebody said create a new database can
solve this problem.
3. Create a new database using Database Configuration Assistant
4. Test again, Can connect to database.
I think as the default start up database did not work correctly, We don’t need to create
the start up database at above installation step 4.
Run Oracle Database Configuration Assistant
1. Selecting Create or delete a database
Create database
Delete database
2. Selecting database type
Typical
Self-define
3.Create new database files.
4. Concurrent user
10
5. Configuration option.
Oraacle Jserver and Advanced Replication are the Default selection, But when I kept
these option, My computer could not finished the installation after 15 hours. So I
canceled, Recleaned the computer completely. Then reinstalled the PE8I, then created
the new database without these option. The database was created successfully in about
2 or 3 hours. I guess this is because my computer has only 64 M RAM.
6.Globle Database Name
Name: Orcl.Peng5651

The database was created successfully.
