Step 4 - Create a New Database with the CLI

There are many options you can specify when using the CLI to create a new database.  Type odacli create-database –h to see the options.  Note that only the database name is required. Create a new database and database home named db3 as follows.  You will be prompted for a password for SYS, SYSTEM, and PDB admin.  To meet password complexity requirements, use WELcome12## for this lab.

$ odacli create-database -n db3 -v 19.13.0.0

In an actual appliance, this command would run a job in the background for approximately 40 minutes.  As with the GUI, you can monitor the progress if you choose, but the Linux prompt returns immediately.  Because this is a simulation, you should see your new database and home almost immediately.  Verify creation of the new database using the following odacli command:

$ odacli list-databases

ID                                       DB Name    DB Type  DB Version           CDB        Class    Shape    Storage Status  DbHomeID
