Insufficient server resources may prevent Oracle from creating a database if other processes or databases are using a large amount of resources, thereby not allowing enough resources to be allocated to the new database.
Insufficient privileges: Oracle requires certain permissions to create a database. If the current user does not have enough privileges, the database creation will not be successful.
Database name conflict: If the database name you are trying to create is already being used by another database, or if there is already a database file with the same name (such as data files, control files, etc.), it will result in the creation of the database failing.
If attempting to create a database using a corrupted database file, Oracle will not be able to successfully create the database.
Network issue: The process of creating a database may fail if there is a network interruption or connection timeout during the process.
Incorrect configuration: Creating a database could also fail if there are incorrect configuration parameters or inconsistencies in Oracle’s configuration file, such as the init.ora file.
Other errors: There are many other factors that could potentially lead to the failure of creating a database, such as operating system errors, database software errors, etc. These errors could be caused by software bugs, hardware malfunctions, operating system issues, etc.
