2) Click Next and select „Create a Database“

3) Select the „General Purpose“ template

4) This screen is very important. Select the Global Database name and SID name very carefully. In most cases, the Global Database name and SID are the same. (For example.: Global Database Name and SID are both SJSU). Always remember the name you entered here.

5) Use the defaults in Step 4. “Configure the Database with Enterprise Manager” and “Use Database Control for Database Management” should be checked.

14) Use the default “Dedicated Server Mode”

15) Click “Next” on the “Database Storage” page.

16) Select “Create a Database” and click “Finish”

17) A Summary HTML file will be provided. Save this file for future reference.

19) Then the Oracle instance will be created and started:

20) Finally, the Database will be created:

21) A summary dialog will remind you or your Global Database Name or SID of the Database. We will only be using the 4 SYS, SYSTEM, DBSNP, SYSMAN users, so there is no need to unlock any other users:

22) Now, if you go to Start->ControlPanel->AdministrativeTools->Services, there should be a service called OracleServiceSJSU started on your machine.
