Oracle Database 9i DBCA error - ORA-29807: Specified oprator does not exist

During installation of Oracle 9i database - DBCA - Creating a database step - you will get an error like below.Error will be shown in "Creating data dictionary Views" section when the process is around 17% complete.

ORA-29807: Specified oprator does not exist 

This is actually a bug in the software.It is a known Oracle 9i problem regarding data dictionary views.
It has been determined that this error is being raised while DBCA is running the script prvtxml.plb.
Prvtxml.plb is a script which creates a particular package body. This script is called from the catxml.sql script - which in turn is called by the catproc.sql script - run automatically when creating a database using DBCA.

Anyway You can safely ignore the error and continue with the creation of the database.


Workaround:

1. Click Ignore and go ahead with DBCA (after invoking DBCA).
    The database creation using DBCA should now proceed without additional errors.


OR 


2. Go to the script catxml.sql and comment out the line which will run prvtxml.plb ( before invoking DBCA).

Using ORADIM to Create Instance on Oracle - Windows Platform

Oradim is an Oracle utility that creates a Service to a database.  If a database is created upon install, or if you use Database Assistant to create a db, it will automatically use this utility to create a service to the db upon creation of the db. If you double click on the Services icon in Control Panel, you will see all the services that are available to the machine. If a machine has a db running on it, you will see a service by the name of OracleService(SID) with a manual or automatic startup type. If the startup is set to automatic, the db will shutdown/startup whenever the machine is restarted, else you will have to shutdown/startup manually.  So you have to use oradim only when you create a database without using the Database Configuration Assistant. You have to use Oradim to create services if you created the database manually.   Example of Oradim to create a service for an 9i database: Create an instance by specifying the following options: (type at comma...
