for creating a databse in oracle u have to make certain changes parameter file.it is batter to copy this file to new location for changes so that ur original databse may not disturb.
set DB_NAME="the name of ur new database", and set new location for controlfile.save the changes.
now come on the servermanager line mode by running svmmgr30(for oracle8) and svrmgrl(for 8i).connect as internal.now shutdown the database .
now issue startup nomount pfile='full path of parameter file'
after startup issue:
CREATE DATABASE DATABASENAME(as in parameter file)
CONTROLFILE REUSE(if u want to overwrite existing database controlfile)
LOGFILE
GROUP 1 'full path where log file will be write' SIZE 10M,
GROUP 2 'full path where log file will be write' SIZE 10M
DATAFILE 'full path where datafile will be write' SIZE 50M;
size can be more or less depends on ur needs.
