Steve 's cohort (me) created the database from scratch. None of that
fancy "CREATE CONTROLFILE " stuff for this kid.
The database WAS "moved " from another machine, but I just used a perl
script to pull out the relevant DDL from a dataless export, then
export/imported the data.
After that was done I went back to my MySQL databases and forgot the QA
Oracle database was there.
