Overview of Installing Oracle Database Software and Creating a Database
To install your Oracle Database software, use Oracle Universal Installer (OUI). OUI is a graphical user interface utility that enables you to install new Oracle Database software. Online Help is available to guide you through the installation process.
During the installation process, you are given the opportunity to create a database. If you choose to do so, then OUI automatically starts Oracle Database Configuration Assistant (DBCA) to guide you through the process of creating and configuring a database.
Before you start the installation process, see the following sections for information about prerequisites and installation choices:

Deciding on Installation Choices
If you do not create a database during installation, then you must run DBCA at some point after installation to create a database.
