Jack,

Can you please tell us a bit more about your environment?:

...Is the Oracle database (ORCL) on your PC?...Is it on a remote server?
...What operating system is the machine that houses your server?
...What operating system is your client connection on?
...Who created the database?
...Are you the de facto Database Administrator for the target database/instance?
...How much Oracle experience have you?
...With whom do you work that can provide you with technical support?

Let us know, then we can better provide you with specific answers.
