Whoa Mark!
You really want Ken to much around in the registry?
I think what he's asking is how to use 'oradim'?
Ken, just type 'oradim' on the command line, and you will
get a help screen. Look it up in the docs if you have to, but
it supplies a pretty good help screen.
Don't mess with the registry unless you have to. It's not
terribly dangerous, but like Mark said, back it up first
via File->Export.

Ken,
You need to "run" (Start/Run..) either of the programs regedit (my personal
favourite), or regedt32. The registry is essentially the "file" that holds
all of the config/licenses etc. settings for your programs, O/S, services
etc.
regedit is an "Explorer" type interface, so you will need to navigate
through the directory type interface to
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/SOFTWARE/Oracle/ALL_HOMES.. or whatever it is off the
top
of my head, and modify the string by double clicking it on the right hand
window, and editing it in there..
It is ALWAYS a good idea to take a backup of your registry before modifying
it!! If you use regedit to do this, simply pull down you file menu, and
export the registry to a nice safe location :)
HTH

I will be creating a new database from a DDL SQL script on a W2000 server
using 8.1.7.
My previous experience has been in the Unix world so the Registry is
something new to me. The server has the Oracle demo DB installed. I need
to create this new DB and the Oracle Post-Installation DB Creation guide
says that I need to update the ORACLE SID in the Registry if I am going to
create a new DB.
So, I need to become familiar with this Registry thing. Is the Registry
located on my client PC or the server? And, how do I access it and make
the
necessary changes to the SID? I have administrator access on the server.
Keep your answers simple please because I am new the Registry
Thanks,
