<P>We just typed:
<PRE>
bash$ dbassist
</PRE>
and we played around with the default options. This allowed us to generate an
instance of Oracle 8i we could use for teaching purposes, during an
undergraduate course on the foundational principles of data bases. If you need
more professional-oriented instances, consult other HOWTOs or read Oracle
documentation.
<P>
<P>In any case, at this point, what you should be able to do is to let
interactive Oracle sql interpreter SQL*Plus run, by issuing:
<PRE>
bash$ sqlplus
</PRE>
and by choosing one of the following two default account/passwd pairs
that Oracle creates by default. The first pair is:
<PRE>
user-name:sys
password:change_on_install
</PRE>
while the second is:
<PRE>
user-name:system
password:manager
</PRE>
<P>
<P>However, if you, just for example, want to connect from/to another machine
we address you to other HOWTOs; for example, Stephen Darlington's
"Oracle for Linux Installation HOWTO" covers this
subjects and gives other useful hints in its final sections.
