Hi I have installed Oracle 9i on solaris but it has some problem in the database creation. When I am trying to startup database it's giving me this error ORA-01079: ORACLE database was not properly created, operation aborted I have tried to delete database using dbca tool but its also giving some error so I want to drop previously created database manually. Can you send me all the steps for delete database manually? --------------------------------- Do you Yahoo!? Everyone is raving about the all-new Yahoo! Mail.
