Hi guys, I know almost nothing about Oracle - I'm not a DBA - I've only used Oracle from the end user POV - Now our Oracle DBA had a family emergency and had to leave us - I need to add some users to our webusers list so they can access the front end of our database - I don't know where oracle keeps it or how to add to it - We're looking for some help but so far we've come up dry - anyone know anything that i can try? Any help is much appreciated. Thanks Moxy

CREATE USER

Example from docs:

CREATE USER sidney 
    IDENTIFIED BY out_standing1 
    DEFAULT TABLESPACE example 
    QUOTA 10M ON example 
    TEMPORARY TABLESPACE temp
    QUOTA 5M ON system 
    PROFILE app_user 
    PASSWORD EXPIRE;

Do you have access to tools such as PL/SQL Developer, TOAD etc? These have convenient wizard-style interfaces for creating new users. You could download the free demo copy and maybe it will last you until the DBA gets back.
