A lot of books do not give even the rationales that have been given in this
thread. I would go to Borders or Barnes & Noble, look at several beginning
Oracle 9i books, and look up how they explain database creation. Many books
just skip over important things like that, out of laziness. There are a lot
of bad Oracle books out there. We ought to have a thread on most useful and
most usless Oracle books.

Well, it is sort of a chicken & egg thing.  When you issue the "create =
database" command the system tablespace gets created for you at the same =
time.  You can't create the system tablespace anyway else.  Mind you, =
you can drop it, with subsequent catastrophic results.  Once the "create =
database" command finishes you can create any other tablespace(s) you =
want.  I'd strongly recommend either a beginners class on Oracle =
followed by the beginners and intermediate DBA classes or the Oracle for =
Dummy's book at Amazon.com.  You need a basic understanding of what your =
talking about, otherwise Mladen is going to have your lunch.

Hie All,
I would like to find out from you what should be created first between =
the
database and the tablespace? The book I managed to lay my hands on does =
not
say, and I'm lost as what should I create first.
Also does the database use the same datafile as the tablespace?

TIA
