I installed oracle 9.2.0.4 and then patched to 9.2.0.5 w/o problems. (I also applied the metalink patch #3006854 before installing. Now I am trying to use dbca to create a database and it keeps failing at the same point. About 14% into the install during the "Creating data dictionary views" phase it display the follow error dialog: ORA-29807: Specified Operator does not exist. I then have the option to Ignore or Abort. Anyone else run into this problem? Thx, rhugga
