NOTE
As of Oracle 10g, the DBCA can configure nodes in a Real
Application Clusters environment.
Using the DBCA to Create a Database
At the operating system command prompt, launch the DBCA by typing dbca. In the subsections
that follow, we will provide additional tips and guidance for most of the windows during the
creation of the database.
DBCA Options
After an initial welcome window, you are presented with five options:
Create a Database This one is fairly straightforward; you are creating a new database
from scratch, using a create database command from scratch or doing an RMAN restore
of a template database with many options you might not need.

Appendix: Installation and Configuration 639
Configure Database Options in a Database Some of the system parameters for an existing
database installation can be changed, such as changing from a dedicated server mode to
shared server or changing the default auditing settings, new to Oracle Database 11g.
Delete a Database This one is also straightforward, and very dangerous! It will shut
down the database and delete all the datafiles and control files associated with the
database. You will need the SYS or SYSTEM password to proceed with this option if
you are not using operating system authentication.
Manage Templates This option allows you to add, modify, or delete templates. During
a DBCA session, once all database parameters have been gathered, you have the option
to save your settings as a template.
