3.1 Using Oracle DBCA with Oracle RAC or Oracle RAC One Node

Oracle Database Configuration Assistant (DBCA) is a tool for creating and configuring an Oracle database.

Oracle DBCA has the following primary database functions:

  • Create and delete databases

  • Create database templates

  • Create, plug, unplug, and delete pluggable databases (PDBs)

  • Add and delete database instances

  • Register databases in Oracle Enterprise Manager Cloud Control

  • Configure and register database options (such as Oracle Database Vault) with the Directory Server

Note:

Cluster Managed Services are no longer managed through DBCA. Instead, use the Cluster Managed Services page in Oracle Enterprise Manager Cloud Control, if available, or SRVCTL. For more information, see Oracle Real Application Clusters Administration and Deployment Guide.
