Man, what is that kind of database with *.odb files?
It is not oracle! :) You don't need to specify file names, when connecting to Oracle DB!!!
In the common case you need ORA client (with is the driver inside the classes111.zip archive).
The Oracle server is listening on a port (usually 1521) and that's all!
Mind that the Ora server should be on the same mashine, where the web server is!!!!

Well, I've never worked with any kind of Oracle-products before and I don't know anything about Oracle whatsoever.
I just chose Oracle because it seemed to have good drivers for the internet !
So, what I did was to visit the Oracle-homepage and download Oracle8i Lite 4.0 to try to create a DB.
And when I create a DB in Oracle Lite, it's named *.odb !!
I've tried to find other programs to create Oracle DB's, but I can't find any.
1. What program should I use to create an Orace DB ?
2. What are Oracle DB's supposed to be named as ?

Actually you don't need files, you need properrly configured Oracle :)
To do this use the oracle tools. Here are some of them (from my Programs startup menu):
Enterprise Manager.lnk
Daemon Manager.lnk
Network Topology Generator.lnk
Security Manager.lnk
Storage Manager.lnk
Instance Manager.lnk
Schema Manager.lnk
Backup Manager.lnk
SQL Worksheet.lnk
Data Manager.lnk
Enterprise Manager Help.lnk
Enterprise Manager Readme.lnk
Oracle Administrator Toolbar.lnk
I guess I'm just a total novice in Oracle matters.
I don't understand that you can put a DB on a homepage without creating a DB with tables and all that.
You wrote that I need no files, but properly configured Oracle.
Does 'Oracle' come in the form of a file or do I have to consult my ISP to make them install something on the server or what ?
I realize that this will properly take me some time to learn and I guess that you don't really have time to give me a 'step to step'-instruction on this matter (you have to work on your diploma-work) !
I don't want to take all your time, so unless it's really no problem for you, you don't have to respond to this.
All the best
