About Creating and Starting an Oracle Database Service

Learn how to create and start an Oracle Database service.

Perform either of the following steps:

  • Copy an existing database to a new database and keep the old database

  • Create a new database when you have no other database to copy

Before you create the database, first create a Windows service to run the database. This service is the Oracle Database process, oracle.exe, installed in the form of a Windows service.

Use ORADIM to create the service.
