Invoke DBCA: Click Start, select All Programs, then Oracle – OraDB12Home1, then Configuration and

Migration Tools, and then Database Configuration Assistant.

Click Yes.

Click Next.

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.

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

Check the “Sample Schemas” checkbox. This will install the HR and other sample schemas and tables

with data to practice SQL.

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.

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.

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

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

creation.

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.

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

Enjoy the Oracle12c Database learning!
