Hi,

I've installed Oracle Personal Edition 8.1.7. I've got a PIV, so I've first replaced SYMCJIT.DLL with symcjit.dll.ori and then the installation went fine.
But when I tried write and execute some simple commands in sql*plus
i.e. : SELECT *
FROM emp;
I got the message : "Table of view not known"

What can I do to solve this problem?

did you login as scott/tiger?
emp is the table that is create by default under scott schema.
in this case, table emp may not be created.
give
select sysdate from dual;
login as system/manager and give
select * from v$database;
if these queries are returning some values, then the db is installed properly.
look for the $oracle_homerdbmsadminscott.sql.
this file sql script creates all the demo tables(emp,dept etc) for scott user.
else
also look for demobld.sql which is a similiar script.

while in sqlplus type in the following command:
show user

This will tell you who you are logged in as. Unless you are logged in as SCOTT, you will not be able to access the table in a SQL statement without qualifying it with the schema name(SCOTT in this case).

It is also possible that your database does NOT have the scott schema. To create it you
