In any case, a thorough review of the installation
guide for your specific platform is another key to a successful Oracle database deployment.
Here is a checklist of issues that should be addressed or resolved before starting the installation:
Decide on the local database name and which domain will contain this database. These
names are set in the initialization parameters DB_NAME and DB_DOMAIN.
For the first project to use the database, estimate the number of tables and indexes, as
well as their size, to plan for disk space estimates beyond what is required for the Oracle
SYSTEM tablespace and the associated Oracle software and tools.
Plan the locations of the physical datafiles on the server??™s disk to maximize performance
and recoverability. The more physical disks, the better. If a RAID or network-attached
storage (NAS) area will be used for the datafiles, then consider OMF to manage the
placement of the datafiles. Better yet, see if you have additional memory to support an
Automatic Storage Management (ASM) instance, making it easier to manage redundant
storage if you don??™t have RAID. Review and understand the basic initialization parameters,
and plan on using an SPFILE before going live, if not using an SPFILE right away.
Select the database character set, along with an alternate character set. Although it??™s easy
to let the character sets default on install, you may need to consider where the users of
the database are located and their language requirements.
