Overview and Pre-requisite checkup
The Oracle Universal Installer (OUI) is used to install the
Oracle Database software. OUI is a graphical user interface utility that will
support on below,
v
View the Oracle software
that is installed
v
Install new Oracle Database
software
v
Delete Oracle software that
is no longer required
During the installation process, OUI will start the Oracle
Database Configuration Assistant (DBCA) which can install a created default
database that contains example schemas or can guide you through the process of
creating and configuring a customized database. If we need to create the
database after installation, we can run DBCA to create one or more databases.
Before installing the software, OUI performs several
automated checks to ensure that computer fulfills the basic hardware and
software requirements for an Oracle Database installation. Some of the
requirements to install the software are:
v
Minimum 2 GB of physical
memory
v
Sufficient/Enough virtual
memory (swap)
v
At least 10 GB of free disk
space
