Installing Oracle Software and Building the Database

Purpose

This lab shows you how to use the Oracle Universal Installer (OUI) to install your Oracle database software and create a starter

database. You will also learn how you can use the Database Configuration Assistant (DBCA) to create additional databases.

Topics

The following topics are discussed:

Installing the Software Using the Oracle Universal Installer (OUI)

Using the Database Configuration Assistant (DBCA) to Create a Database

Installing the Software Using the Oracle Universal Installer (OUI)

You can use the Oracle Universal Installer (OUI) to install your Oracle software . The OUI is a GUI tool that enables you to view the Oracle software that is installed on your machine, install new Oracle software, and delete Oracle software that you no longer intend

to use. There are two methods that you can use to install the Oracle software: basic and advanced. Choose the basic installation method to quickly the install the software with minimal user input. The advanced installation method enables you to perform a

custom installation.
