How can an Oracle database be created?
To create a database in Oracle, follow these steps:
- Open Oracle database management tools such as SQL*Plus or SQL Developer, and log in as an administrator.
- Create a database instance by entering the following command:
CREATE DATABASE database_name; - The database_name is the name of the database you wish to create.
- To specify the storage location of the database file, use the following command:
CREATE TABLESPACE tablespace_name
DATAFILE ‘file_path’
SIZE file_size; - tablespace_name is the name of the database tablespace, file_path is the storage path of the database file, and file_size is the size of the database file.
- Create a user and assign table spaces by entering the command:
CREATE USER username IDENTIFIED BY password
DEFAULT TABLESPACE tablespace_name
TEMPORARY TABLESPACE temp_tablespace_name; - The username represents the name of the user to be created, the password is the user’s password, the tablespace_name is the user’s default tablespace, and the temp_tablespace_name is the user’s temporary tablespace.
- Grant the user permissions by entering the following command:
GRANT privilege TO username; - One of these is the privilege that needs to be granted, such as CREATE SESSION, CREATE TABLE, CREATE VIEW, and so on.
- After completing the above steps, you have successfully created an Oracle database.
