QUESTION POSED ON: 08 August 2005
How do I create a Recovery Catalog in Oracle 8i?

Creating a Recovery Catalog is quite easy. First, identify the database that will hold the RC. Sign on to that database as SYSTEM or SYS and perform the following actions:

Create a user for the RC. I will call that user RMAN in my example.
Create a tablespace to hold the RC.
Make this tablespace the default tablespace for the RMAN user.
Grant the RECOVERY_CATALOG_OWNER role to the RMAN user.
From RMAN, connect to the RC database:
```
   os_prompt> rman catalog rman/pswd
```
Create the RC:
```
   rman> create catalog;
```

Of course, this is all fully documented in the Oracle docs.
