The document provides steps to create a non-CDB Oracle 12c database on Windows using the Database Configuration Assistant (DBCA). It describes opening DBCA, selecting the default configuration option, and reviewing the database configuration summary. It also shows checking options like sample schemas and changing to advanced mode to see additional screens.

1. Create Non-CDB Oracle Database 12c on
Windows
Oracle documentation to create a database…
http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E16655_01/server.121/e17643/install.htm#CHDGJGHB
Invoke DBCA: Click Start, select All Programs, then Oracle – OraDB12Home1, then Configuration and
Migration Tools, and then Database Configuration Assistant.
Click Yes.

2. Click Next.
Click Help button in any screen to get context sensitive help. Few of the help screens are shown here.

4. Choosing the “Default Configuration” is easy and quick way to create a database. To install Container
Database, the “Create as Container Database” checkbox must be checked.

Let’s change to “Advanced Mode” and see the difference in DB Creation screens… In this demo, I am not
changing any defaults, but screens are to show you the options available.

9. Click show details to see what products are installed in the pre-configured database…

20. Check the “Sample Schemas” checkbox. This will install the HR and other sample schemas and tables
with data to practice SQL.

33. The EM Database Express URL is https://computername:5500/em
Click on Password Management if you would like to unlock any of the system accounts. Usually not
needed to do, you may unlock and set password for the sample schemas such as HR, OE, etc.

35. Connect to the database using sqlplus to verify the database. Unlock the Sample Schemas to start using
them for demo purposes.
Click Start, select All Programs, then Oracle – OraDB12Home1, then Application Development, and
then SQL Plus.

36. Now you are ready to connect to the database as HR user and start playing with the tables.

37. Verify Enterprise Manager access using the URL provided by DBCA in the summary screen after database
creation.

39. Another tool to login to the database is SQL Developer, which is also installed by default along with 12c
Database Software Install.
Click Start, select All Programs, then Oracle – OraDB12Home1, then Application Development, and
then SQL Developer.
First time, a configuration screen appears asking the java location. I used the location installed by the
Oracle DB 12c software.

40. Click on the green “+” to add database connection information.

41. Enjoy the Oracle12c Database learning!
