How does one create an Oracle Database. I know how to create an Access
Database using ADOX etc, but tried the same for Oracle and it did not work.
I have Oracle Personal Edition Verion 8, Delphi5 Enterprise.

ADOX is currently supports only Jet Engine, i.e. you can only create
Access databases. In version 2.5 of MDAC you will also be able to
create SQL Server bases, it this functionality is still considered. Try
to use native SQL statements to create an Oracle Database.

You can only create an Oracle database using SQL commands in Server Manager.
In Oracle (unlike other DBMS) a database is synonymous with an instance.
Are you really trying to create an instance OR are you trying to create a
schema in an existing database/instance?

I am really trying to create an instance.
