Follow the steps in this section to start Database Configuration Assistant (DBCA).
Note:
If you choose to create a starter database while installing the Oracle Database software, then Oracle Universal Installer (OUI) automatically starts DBCA.
To start DBCA:
Log on to your computer as a member of the administrative group that is authorized to install Oracle Database software and to create and run the database.
Do one of the following:
To start DBCA on a Microsoft Windows operating system, click Start, select Programs (or All Programs), then Oracle -HOME_NAME, then Configuration and Migration Tools, and then Database Configuration Assistant.
To start DBCA on UNIX or Linux, or at the command-line prompt on the Windows operating system, enter the following command:
dbca
The dbca utility is typically located in the ORACLE_HOME/bin directory.
