> We are trying to install SpaceWalk 2.8 on a Centos7 host, connecting to a remote host running an Oracle 12C instance. We have confirmed that the table SWALK_DATA does indeed exist, so are unsure why we get the error stating the table doesn't exist. We are also unsure what the subsequent errors are complaining about too, so any help or advice would be gratefully received !!

Tablespace != table. You need to create *tablespace* SWALK_DATA (a place
where Oracle stores tables).
