About Standard Installations

This task is a step in Roadmap for Installing the Siebel Database.

You can use the standard install option as your sole installation procedure, or you can perform the standard installation as the first step of a custom installation, and then customize your deployment after you have completed the standard installation. To perform a custom installation, see Process of Performing a Custom Installation.

The standard installation provides two schema layout options: Siebel Schema without Partitioning and Siebel Schema with Partitioning. As shown in the following table, the storage control file you use during the standard installation is determined by your preferred Siebel Schema layout and your encoding scheme. For additional information on the templates, see About Storage Control File Templates.

Siebel Schema Layout	Storage Control File Template to Use	Storage Control File Description
Siebel Schema without Partitioning	storage_np.ctl	Contains a database storage layout for a Siebel Schema that does not use Unicode encoding. No partitioned table spaces are provided in this storage control file.
	storage_np_u.ctl	Contains a database storage layout for a Siebel Schema with Unicode encoding. No partitioned table spaces are provided in this storage control file.
Siebel Schema with Partitioning	storage_p.ctl	Contains a partitioning scheme for a set of tables for ASCII.
	storage_p_u.ctl	Contains a partitioning scheme for a set of tables for Unicode.
	storage_p_e.ctl	Contains a partitioning scheme for a set of tables for EBCDIC.

If you choose the Siebel partitioned layout, a selected subset of Siebel tables is defined as partitioned. For a discussion of partitioned table spaces, see About Siebel Table Partitioning.
