Create Database Manually Step by Step instruction

Posted by Kamran Agayev A. on May 31st, 2009 Today, Ill show you how we can create a Database without Database Configuration Assistant (DBCA). Were going to create the database manually, using CREATE DATABASE statement. Sometimes, we are not able to use GUI in order to create a database. For this, we should know syntax of database creation from SQL*Plus. To create database manually, follow below steps: 1. Firstly, export Environment Variables. To export EV automatically for every session, do below changes to /home/oracle/.bashrc file: export ORACLE_SID=kamran export ORACLE_HOME=/home/oracle/oracle/product/10.2.0/db_1 export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$LD_LIBRARY_PATH:$ORACLE_HOME/lib

2. Create parameter file and modify it by setting minimum required parameters: *.db_name=kamran *.db_block_size=8192 *.sga_target=1677721600 *.undo_management=AUTO *.control_files = (/home/oracle/oracle/product/10.2.0/control01.ctl) *.user_dump_dest=/home/oracle/oracle/product/10.2.0/udump

*.background_dump_dest=/home/oracle/oracle/product/10.2.0/bdump *.core_dump_dest=/home/oracle/oracle/product/10.2.0/cdump After creation of this parameter file, create below folders in /home/oracle/oracle/product/10.2.0/ directory. Three of them are dump folders (needed for trace files and alert.log file). Were going to keep Control Files and DataFiles in oradata folder. oradata udump bdump cdump

3. Create Server parameter file (SPFILE) using this parameter file and STARTUP the instance in NOMOUNT mode. CREATE SPFILE FROM PFILE=/home/oracle/oracle/product/10.2.0/init.ora; STARTUP NOMOUNT

Now our instance started, SGA allocated and background processes started

4. To create a new database, use the CREATE DATABASE statement. As a result, below files will be created: Redo Log files system.dbf and sysaux.dbf (files for SYSTEM tablespace) undo01.dbf file (for UNDO tablespace) temp_tbs.dbf file (for TEMPORARY tablespace) users.dbf (for DEFAULT PERMANENT tablespace)

//######## Database Creation Code ####### CREATE DATABASE kamran USER SYS IDENTIFIED BY kamran USER SYSTEM IDENTIFIED BY kamran LOGFILE GROUP 1 (/home/oracle/oracle/product/10.2.0/oradata/redo01.log) SIZE 50 m, GROUP 2 (/home/oracle/oracle/product/10.2.0/oradata/redo02.log) SIZE 50 m, GROUP 3 (/home/oracle/oracle/product/10.2.0/oradata/redo03.log) SIZE 50 m MAXLOGFILES 5

5. Run the scripts necessary to build views, synonyms, and PL/SQL packages CONNECT / AS SYSDBA

SQL>@$ORACLE_HOME/rdbms/admin/catalog.sql SQL>@$ORACLE_HOME/rdbms/admin/catproc.sql

6. Shutdown the instance and startup the database. Your database is ready for use!
