April, Sorry about that - I looked at the docs again, and I don't think you can do it the way you had it originally.
I created my last db like so: create database WTWU maxinstances 1 maxlogfiles 32 maxdatafiles 99 noarchivelog character set WE8ISO8859P1 datafile 'L:\u0002\WTWU\system\system_01.dbf' size 100M logfile group 1 ('N:\u0010\WTWU\log\redo01a.log', 'J:\u0011\WTWU\log\redo01b.log') size 10M, group 2 ('N:\u0010\WTWU\log\redo02a.log', 'J:\u0011\WTWU\log\redo02b.log') size 10M, group 3 ('N:\u0010\WTWU\log\redo03a.log', 'J:\u0011\WTWU\log\redo03b.log') size 10M; I think you need the "log file group 1" commands for multiple redo logs.

There is SOMETHING wrong, and I can not for the life of me see it. I know there is something REALLY simple wrong with this, but I can't find it... ANYWHERE... and the error manual is ever so helpful on the errors... >:\ THESE are my errors.............. create database testcc1 * ERROR at line 1: ORA-01501: CREATE DATABASE failed ORA-02084: database name is missing a component THIS is my script........................................... create database testcc1 controlfile reuse logfile '/admin04/cc1test/redo01.log' size 1m reuse, '/admin05/cc1test/redo02.log' size 1m reuse, '/admin06/cc1test/redo03.log' size 1m reuse datafile '/data10/cc1test_system.dbf' size 100m reuse WHAT is wrong with it. I am really not this inept... really... but I can't see what is wrong with the database name. Thanks in advance for there not being GAILS of laughter... but tiredness is getting to me.
