Oracle9i Database Configurations
Oracle9i Installation Planning
1-5
Customized
This environment allows you to create a customized database configuration of
Oracle products that meets specialized requirements.
Select this option only if you are prepared to provide detailed product and database
environment choices
.
Choosing this option requires a longer installation session
than choosing a preconfigured database.
Software Only
This choice allows you to install Oracle products
.
It does not configure the
listeners or the network infrastructure, and it does not create a database.
Oracle Corporation recommends that you install at least one preconfigured
database to serve as a template for database configuration.
Database Configuration Assistant
Database Configuration Assistant enables you to copy an Oracle9
i
preconfigured
database, or to create a fully customized database to match your selected
environment and database configuration
.
It starts automatically (unless you
selected software only) after Oracle9
i
software has been installed during Oracle9
i
installation.
When installing Oracle9
i
software using any database configuration option other
than the Custom and Software Only, the Oracle Universal Installer (OUI) prompts
for a global database name and System Identifier (SID)
.
After Oracle9
i
installation
is complete, the Database Configuration Assistant uses this information to create
the database
.

database environments, the effect that database environment
settings have on performance, and how your database can be tuned
to maximize performance.
