This tutorial explains the different steps for installing Oracle Database 12c Software on Windows.

Oracle database 12c exploitationExploiting Oracle requires knowledge of the installation procedures:

Prerequisites, preinstallation and postinstallation operations.

Kernel tree

OFA standard

Location of the configuration files

An Oracle database administrator must know how to install the Oracle Software and identify the

components of an installation.

Launch the installation with OUI.Launch the Oracle Universal Installer (OUI) to start the installation. Make sure all prerequisites are met to

avoid errors during the installation. OUI is a consistant Java application which can be used to install,

deinstall, patch, clone or upgrade an Oracle database installation.



Provide your Oracle Support credentialsIf you have an Oracle Support account you can provide your email address and your Oracle Support

password in order to receive email alerts from Oracle concerning security issues. If you don’t have an

Oracle Support account, skip this step by unchecking the box. With Oracle Support you can

Search for solutions to you database issues

Download patches and updates

Access proactive support tools

Collaborate in the My Oracle Support Community

Create a Service Request

Install software updatesAgain, if you purchased a licence from Oracle, you can provide your credentials to download software

updates for this current installation.



Choosing installation optionsInstallation options : Installing the Oracle Software only – You have the possibility to create a database,

upgrade an existing database or install the database software only. In this tutorial we will install the software

which comes with all the necessary tools such as DBCA to create a database later.



Grid installation optionsNext, select a type of database installation. Oracle RAC is a cluster database with a shared cache

architecture that overcomes the limitations of traditional sharednothing and shareddisk approaches to

provide highly scalable and available database solutions for all business applications. For distributed

environments you may install a RAC database or a RAC node database. As we will install single install a

single install database in the next tutorial, we opt for the first choice “Single instance Database installation”.

Recall that an instance support only a single database.



Language selectionChoose which language the software should use after it is installed. You can select multiple languages. The

default value is English. If you choose a value other than English, it does not change the language used by

the installation. The default language can be changed at any time after the installation



Select the database edition you want to install.Enterprise Edition : This installation type is the fullfeatured Oracle Database product that provides data

management for enterpriselevel applications. It is intended for missioncritical, highsecurity online

transaction processing (OLTP) and data warehousing environments.

Standard Edition : This installation type is suitable for workgroup or departmentlevel applications, and for

small to mediumsized enterprises. It provides core relational database management services and options

and includes an integrated set of management tools, replication, Web features, and facilities for building

businesscritical applications.

Standard Edition One : This installation type is suitable for workgroup, department, or web applications. It

provides core relational database management services for singleserver environments or highly

distributed branch environments. Oracle Standard Edition One includes all the facilities necessary to build

businesscritical applications.

Personal Edition (Microsoft Windows operating systems only) : This installation type installs the same

software as the Enterprise Edition, but supports only a singleuser, development and deployment

environment.



Select an Oracle Home userUse a nonadministrator, low privileged Windows User Account as the Oracle Home User. This option is

recommended for database installation to ensure that Oracle services run with limited privileges. For single

instance databases, you can also choose to allow the Oracle Installer to create a new Windows User

Account (local user only) which will then be used as the Oracle Home User.



Select paths for Oracle Base and Oracle HomeSpecify the directory in which the Oracle Database software is installed, or the location where the product

binary files are copied from the installation media. You must choose a location that has enough disk space

to contain the software and is accessible by the operating system user performing the installation.

You also specify the location of the Oracle base directory, which is used by all Oracle software products

installed on the server. The first time you install Oracle software on a server, you are prompted to specify

the location of the inventory directory, calledoraInventory. This directory provides a centralized inventory of

all Oracle software products installed on the server. You should use the same value for the Oracle inventory

directory each time you perform an Oracle software installation on the server.



Checking prerequisitesClick next to perform the requirements check. OUI performs several environment checks and indicates

whether the check was a success, or resulted in a warning or failure. Details of the checks are provided in

the displayed window. The installation can proceed only when all checks have a status of either Succeeded

or Warning. If any of the environment checks failed, then they must be resolved manually



Finalize the installationIf all prerequisites are met, click on next to install the product. The OUI can be closed after the installation.



Installed toolsA bunch of tools installed by the OUI can be seen on the Start menu of Windows. The database

configuration assistant (DBCA) and Oracle Net Configuration Assistant will we be used in the next tutorial to

create a database.
