Just need a boost......

How do I get started with VB6 to connect to an Oracle DB?
I have looked at samples, but don't understand how to connect to Oracle (well, not connect, but WHAT TO connect TO????
For example:
(This is from a sample VB6 - Oracle program found on internet)
How is the data source identified (in this guy's case, where is "ROWELLS" located on his computer--I assume it is the name of a database he created)--I have NO idea how to initially CREATE a database in Oracle so I can connect to it.)
I understand the id and pwd, it's the datasource I need a jump start on. I know I could spend hours just trying to figure out how to create a set of tables in an oracle DB, but if I could just get a quick 'guide', I'd appreciate it.
So, BL:
How do I create a small Oracle DB with a small sample table in it? (I am on a Win7 computer; Oracle is installed on my C drive).
