Manual Creation of database in windows with oracle 9i (Step-by-Step)
(Name of the database=db18)
(Note: all commands are in bold letters)
1. Open the command prompt and execute the command sqlplus/nolog
2. Connect to the default database as sysdba in sql prompt SQL>conn sys/oracle as
sysdba you can see the name of that database by executing select name from
v$database;
3. Now open another command prompt and set oracle SID as set oracle_sid=db18
4. Start a windows service with internal password oradim new sid <database name>
intpwd <password> is the syntax. In this case I use ceylonlinux_suranga as password
to create db18 service like, oradim new sid db18 intpwd ceylonlinux_suranga
5. Create a directory called db18. In my case I created it in d:\ drive (Note: all my
parameter files and .sql file that are going to discuss following are based on my
location, you can change the location according to yours)
6. Here is my initdb18.ora that I saved it in d:\db18 folder. This is the static parameter
file that I used in my database creation (Note: If you are creating a database with a
different name and in a different location make sure to edit the relevant fields in this
file)

7. Now type following in your current command prompt sqlplus/nolog and in sql
prompt type conn sys/ceylonlinux_suranga as sysdba then you should see that you
are connected to an idle instance
8. Now start the instance in nomount mode as, startup nomount
pfile=d:\db18\initdb18.ora why are you starting the database in nomount mode ?
The reason is still we are not created control files. An instance would be started in
the NOMOUNT stage only during database creation or the re-creation of control files.
9. This step is to create the database using dbca.sql script that I saved in d:\db18 folder
appears follows
CREATE DATABASE db18
LOGFILE GROUP 1('d:\db18\redo01.log') SIZE 100M,
GROUP 2('d:\db18\redo02.log') SIZE 100M,
GROUP 3('d:\db18\redo03.log') SIZE 100M
MAXLOGFILES 5
MAXLOGMEMBERS 5
MAXLOGHISTORY 1
MAXDATAFILES 100
MAXINSTANCES 1
CHARACTER SET US7ASCII
NATIONAL CHARACTER SET AL16UTF16
DATAFILE 'd:\db18\system01.dbf' SIZE 325M
UNDO TABLESPACE UNDOTBS
DATAFILE 'd:\db18\UNDOTBS.dbf'
SIZE 200M REUSE AUTOEXTEND ON NEXT 5120K MAXSIZE UNLIMITED;

10. Run the script in the SQL prompt as this, SQL>@d:\db18\dbca.sql once you run this
script you can see the control files, redo log file, Alert log file, .dbf files and .trc
(Background Trace files & User Trace files) files are created in d:\db18 folder.
11. Now you can shutdown the database using shutdown command.
12. Once the database shutdown reboot your PC
13. Connect again as sysdba to default database sqlplus/nolog, SQL>conn sys/oracle as
sysdba check which database you are in.
14. If it is not db18 set oracle sid as we did before in another command prompt as set
oracle_sid=db18
15. If db18 windows service is not started start it manually or execute this oradim
STARTUP sid db18 intpwd ceylonlinux_suranga
16. Now connect to the database sqlplus sys/ceylonlinux_suranga as sysdba
17. startup pfile=d:\db18\initdb18.ora (Note: Here we dont need to start the database
in nomount mode because we have already created control files)
18. Execute catalog.sql SQL>@d:\ORANT\rdbms\admin\catalog.sql
19. Execute catproc.sql SQL>@d:\ORANT\rdbms\admin\catproc.sql
Note: if the password file is corrupted or if you get an error in authentication you can recreate
the password file as follows, but make sure to delete the existing password file.
C:>orapwd file=d:\ORANT\database \PWDdb18.ORA password=ceylonlinux_suranga
This is what you need to do every time when you start your database..
C:\Documents and Settings\qq>set oracle_sid=db18
C:\Documents and Settings\qq>oradim -STARTUP -sid db18 -intpwd
ceylonlinux_suranga
ORA-01078: failure in processing system parameters

Now you need to edit the following files
ˇ D:\ORANT\network\admin\tnsnames.ora
ˇ D:\ORANT\network\admin\listener.ora
Here are the files that I usedyou can change those accordingly

Now start OEM console and click Add Database To Tree under Navigator menu item.
From the window select second radio button saying Add selected databases from your local
tnsnames.ora file
From there select db18. Once you select it you should see OEM console as follows
