Can we create additional database for Oracle Express Edition?

Can we create new additional database for Oracle Expression Edition? Because No DBCA available in express edition, However we can create database using manual script.

We can follow way for normal database creation manual steps only…

Consider new Database Name is “XETEST”

Step 1:  Create suitable directory for new database.

like below

C:\oraclexe\app\oracle\admin\XETEST

	
adump
	
dpdump
	
pfile

C:\oraclexe\app\oracle\oradata\XETEST

Step 2: Create new instance for new database

       C:\Windows\system32>oradim -new -sid xetest
         Instance created.

Step 3 : Create password file for new database

C:\Windows\system32>orapwd file=C:\oraclexe\app\oracle\product\11.2.0\server\database\PWDXETEST.ora password=sysxe

Step 4 : Create New pfile like below

xe.__db_cache_size=117440512
xe.__java_pool_size=4194304
xe.__large_pool_size=8388608
xe.__oracle_base='C:\oraclexe\app\oracle'#ORACLE_BASE set from environment
xe.__pga_aggregate_target=188743680
xe.__sga_target=566231040
xe.__shared_io_pool_size=92274688
xe.__shared_pool_size=335544320
xe.__streams_pool_size=0
*.audit_file_dest='C:\oraclexe\app\oracle\admin\XETEST\adump'
*.compatible='11.2.0.0.0'
*.control_files='C:\oraclexe\app\oracle\oradata\XETEST\control.dbf'
*.db_name='XETEST'
*.DB_RECOVERY_FILE_DEST_SIZE=10G
*.DB_RECOVERY_FILE_DEST='C:\oraclexe\app\oracle\flash_recovery_area'
*.diagnostic_dest='C:\oraclexe\app\oracle'###########################################
*.dispatchers='(PROTOCOL=TCP) (SERVICE=XETESTXDB)'
*.job_queue_processes=4
*.local_listener='(ADDRESS=(PROTOCOL=TCP)(HOST=AZAR-PC.ace-ins.com)(PORT=1522))'
*.open_cursors=300
*.os_authent_prefix=''
*.pga_aggregate_target=180M
*.remote_login_passwordfile='EXCLUSIVE'
*.sessions=20
*.sga_target=540M
*.shared_servers=4
*.undo_management='AUTO'
*.undo_tablespace='UNDOTBS1'

Step 5: Stratup nomount stage db using new pfile

.
C:\Windows\system32>SET ORACLE_SID=XETEST

C:\Windows\system32>sqlplus

Enter user-name: / as sysdba
Connected to an idle instance.

SQL> startup nomount pfile='d:\temp\initXETEST.ora';
ORACLE instance started.

Total System Global Area  564957184 bytes
Fixed Size                  1384956 bytes
Variable Size             171970052 bytes
Database Buffers          385875968 bytes
Redo Buffers                5726208 bytes

Step 6: Create Database Script  like below

create database XETEST
MAXLOGFILES 16
MAXLOGMEMBERS 3
MAXDATAFILES 100
MAXINSTANCES 8
MAXLOGHISTORY 292
LOGFILE
  GROUP 1 'D:\temp\redolog\REDO01.LOG'  SIZE 50M BLOCKSIZE 512,
  GROUP 2 'D:\temp\redolog\REDO02.LOG'  SIZE 50M BLOCKSIZE 512
DATAFILE'C:\oraclexe\app\oracle\oradata\XETEST\SYSTEM.DBF' size 100m autoextend on
sysaux datafile 'C:\oraclexe\app\oracle\oradata\XETEST\SYSAUX.DBF' size 100m autoextend on
undo tablespace undotbs1 datafile  'C:\oraclexe\app\oracle\oradata\XETEST\UNDOTBS1.DBF' size 100m autoextend on
CHARACTER SET AL32UTF8
;

Step 7: After created it, you can run at sql prompt

SQL> @D:\temp\create.sql

Database created.

Step 8: Now database was created, Check Instance status & Version

SQL> select status from v$instance;

STATUS
------------
OPEN

SQL> select * from v$version;
