Before You Begin

This tutorial shows you how to create a sample Oracle Database 18c with the default settings.

Background

Ensure that your system meets the necessary hardware and software requirements for Oracle Database 18c on Oracle Linux.

Install Oracle Database 18c 64-bit on Oracle Linux 7 or Oracle Linux 6.

Note: The ORACLE_HOME path for this software installation is /opt/oracle/product/18c/dbhome_1.

What Do You Need?

• Oracle Linux 7 or Oracle Linux 6 64-bit on the target server.
• A minimum of 2 GB swap space.
• If you are performing the installation on your laptop, then ensure that the /etc/hosts file contains a fully qualified name for the target server.

Creating and Configuring a Sample Oracle Database 18c Software

1. Log in as root.
2. To configure a sample Oracle Database instance, run the following service configuration script:

   # /etc/init.d/oracledb_ORCLCDB-18c configure
   

   view-oracle-database-configuration-output

   This script creates a container database (ORCLCDB) with one pluggable database (ORCLPDB1) and configures the listener at the default port (1521).
