Manual Database Creation in Oracle11g on Windows

Posted by Rajeev Jha

Step 1.
Set up environment variables needed (ORACLE_HOME, ORACLE_SID and add ORACLE_HOME
\bin to PATH)
set ORACLE_HOME=D:\app\rajjha\product\11.2.0
set PATH=%ORACLE_HOME%\bin;%PATH%
set ORACLE_SID=MYDB
Step 2.
Create required directories as per your location (I have created in D:\)
D:\MYDB
-PFILE
-DATA
-CONTROL
-LOG
-BACK
-USER
-ARCHIVE
Step 3.
Sample pfile (parameter file) for the instance and place it in D:\MYDB\PFILE\ini
tMYDB.ora
db_name= MYDB
memory_target=500m
processes=150
audit_file_dest= D:\MYDB\USER
audit_trail = db
db_block_size=8192
db_domain=
diagnostic_dest=D:\MYDB\BACK
dispatchers='(PROTOCOL=TCP) (SERVICE=MYDBXDB)
open_cursors=300
remote_login_passwordfile= EXCLUSIVE
undo_tablespace= UNDOTBS1'
control_files = ( D:\MYDB\CONTROL\control1.ora , D:\MYDB\CONTROL\control2.ora )
compatible = 11.2.0'
Step 4.
Creation of service for MYDB and set startup mode to be manual
D:\>oradim -NEW -SID MYDB -STARTMODE manual
Instance created.
Step 5.
Start SQL*PLus to create database
D:\>sqlplus /nolog
SQL> connect sys/oracle as sysdba
Connected
Step 6.
Start instance in nomount with the pfile

SQL> startup nomount pfile= D:\MYDB\PFILE\initMYDB.ora

ORACLE instance started.

Create database
SQL>

Step 8.
Create catalog data dictionary.
SQL> @?/rdbms/admin/catalog.sql
Step 9.
Create all structures required for PL/SQL
SQL> @?/rdbms/admin/catproc.sql
Step 10.
Create spfile from pfile and restart instance
SQL> create spfile from pfile= D:\MYDB\PFILE\initMYDB.ora';
File created.
SQL> shutdown immediate;
Database closed.
Database dismounted.
ORACLE instance shut down.
SQL> startup;
ORACLE instance started.

Step 11.
How to stop/start the services and instance
Show service status
D:\>sc query OracleServiceMYDB
SERVICE_NAME: OracleServiceMYDB
TYPE
: 10 WIN32_OWN_PROCESS
STATE
: 4 RUNNING
(STOPPABLE, PAUSABLE, ACCEPTS_SHUTDOWN)
WIN32_EXIT_CODE
: 0 (0x0)
SERVICE_EXIT_CODE : 0 (0x0)
CHECKPOINT
: 0x0
WAIT_HINT
: 0x0
Stop service, the status of the service changes to STOP_PENDING
D:\>sc stop OracleServiceMYDB
SERVICE_NAME: OracleServiceMYDB
TYPE
: 10 WIN32_OWN_PROCESS
STATE
: 3 STOP_PENDING
(STOPPABLE, PAUSABLE, ACCEPTS_SHUTDOWN)
WIN32_EXIT_CODE
: 0 (0x0)
SERVICE_EXIT_CODE : 0 (0x0)
CHECKPOINT
: 0x1
WAIT_HINT
: 0x15f90
Check service again after waiting for a bit
D:\>sc query OracleServiceMYDB
SERVICE_NAME: OracleServiceMYDB
TYPE
: 10 WIN32_OWN_PROCESS
STATE
: 1 STOPPED
WIN32_EXIT_CODE
: 0 (0x0)
SERVICE_EXIT_CODE : 0 (0x0)
CHECKPOINT
: 0x0
WAIT_HINT
: 0x0
Start service, the status will change to START_PENDING
D:\>sc start OracleServiceMYDB
SERVICE_NAME: OracleServiceMYDB
TYPE
: 10 WIN32_OWN_PROCESS
STATE
: 2 START_PENDING
(NOT_STOPPABLE, NOT_PAUSABLE, IGNORES_SHUTDOWN)
WIN32_EXIT_CODE
: 0 (0x0)
SERVICE_EXIT_CODE : 0 (0x0)
CHECKPOINT
: 0x0
WAIT_HINT
: 0x7d0

Recheck status of the service

D:\>sc query OracleServiceMYDB
SERVICE_NAME: OracleServiceMYDB
TYPE
: 10 WIN32_OWN_PROCESS
STATE
: 4 RUNNING
(STOPPABLE, PAUSABLE, ACCEPTS_SHUTDOWN)
WIN32_EXIT_CODE
: 0 (0x0)
SERVICE_EXIT_CODE : 0 (0x0)
CHECKPOINT
: 0x0
WAIT_HINT
: 0x0
Re-login to start the database, if you don t relogin, you will get the ORA-03113:
end-of-file on communication channel error message
