Database Configuration Assistant (dbca) is an
Oracle provided tool to create a new database. In this document I would explain
how to create a new 12c R1 database using dbca. For database creation steps for Oracle 12c R2, follow this document. Steps and screens are almost same
for other Oracle database versions and different OS platforms.
1)
1)
For Unix based platforms, log in as “oracle” user and initiate dbca by writing
“dbca” using command line. Make sure your environment variables are set
properly. For windows , initiate dbca from start menu.
For Windows, initiate from Start Menu
From first screen, select appropriate option of your choice. If this is the first database on the server, we only see 2 options enabled. For create a new database, we select “Create a Database” and click Next.
2)
On seconds scree, I have selected “Advance” so that all steps could be explained. In 11g, you will not see this screen.

From Sizing tab, you can specify number of process and database block size (For Database option I selected in step 3 above, block size is 8192 and can not be changed from this screen). From character set tab, you may also change database and national characterset. Connection Mode tab gives you choice of selecting Dedicated Server or Shared Server mode for database connections. Click Next
