Oracle Database 19c – the latest offering of Oracle corp. is now available for windows 10 operating system. Oracle has finally released the on-premises version of Oracle Database 19c for Windows operating system. Meaning now you can download and install it on your windows systems. That is exactly what we are going to learn today.
In this blog I will show you how to properly install Oracle Database 19c on Windows 10. Just to make the installation less complex and easy to understand I have divided this blog into three simple sections. These are –
- Prerequisite for Oracle 19c installation
- Download of the Oracle 19c software, and
- Installation of Oracle DB 19c on Windows 10.
Also, we will see at the end of this blog, what is the default URL of the Oracle Database 19c Enterprise Manager? Thus, I suggest you to read on till the end.
Prerequisite for Oracle 19c installation
The most important part is knowing a software before you deploy it on any machine. It could save you from various errors. Also solving them would be a time-consuming activity. Furthermore, if you are preparing for an interview then this could help you in nailing it.
Here I have explained all the important things related to Oracle DB 19c in Question Answer format. Check it out –
Is Oracle Database 19c available for all the Windows operating systems?
No, it is not. Oracle Database 19c is only available for –
- Windows 8.1 x64 – Pro and Enterprise editions
- Windows 10 x64 – Pro, Enterprise, and Education editions
- Windows Server 2012 R2 x64 – Standard, Datacenter, Essentials, and Foundation editions
- Windows Server 2016 x64 – Standard, Datacenter, and Essentials editions
- Windows Server 2019 x64 – Standard, Datacenter, and Essentials editions
Can we install Oracle DB 19c on x32 bit Windows operating system?
No, we cannot install Oracle Database 19c on x32bit Windows operating system. Oracle 19c is only compatible with x64bit Windows OS. Those who have x32bit Windows OS installed. I am sorry. You either need to upgrade your system to x64bit (But first make sure your CPU has x64 bit architecture. You cannot install x64bit OS on a x32 bit CPU) or configure a virtual box.
What are hardware requirements for Oracle 19c?
The minimum hardware requirement for installing Oracle Database 19c on Windows 10 are as follow—
- Minimum 2GB free RAM.
- 10GB of empty space on Hard Disk Drive
- A processor based on either Intel EM64T or AMD64 architecture.
- Display card with minimum resolution of 1024×768 pixels.
- 16 GB SWAP (virtual memory) space if RAM is more than 16 GB. If RAM is in between 2 GB and 16 GB, then 1 time the size of the RAM
Also make sure that your system is connected to the internet.
Free RAM for Oracle 19c.
Somebody commented on my 18c installation video and said that he has 3 or may 4 GB RAM installed but the Oracle Universal Installer (OUI) is still giving the minimum hardware compatibility error.
Therefore, let me clear the confusion here – No matter what size of RAM you have installed in your system, installation will not proceed unless 2GB of free space of RAM is available.
Consequently, 2GB of RAM must be free for Oracle 19c of whatever the size of RAM you have installed in your system.
Storage for Oracle 19c
As mentioned earlier that the installation of Oracle Database 19c requires at least 10GB of Free storage space. Thus, 10GB empty space on your hard disk drive is a sweet spot. Empty storage space depends on, which edition of Oracle Database 19c you are installing. For example –
- Oracle Database 19c Enterprise Edition requires at least 6.0 GB free storage space
- Oracle DB 19c Standard Edition 2 requires at least 5.5 GB free storage space
Furthermore you should also, at least have 7.0 GB for restart installation.
Oracle recommends that you allocate approximately 100 GB to allow additional space for applying any future patches on top of the existing Oracle home.
How many Edition of Oracle 19c are available?
So far, Oracle Database 19c is only available in 2 editions. These are –
- (EE) Oracle Database 19c Enterprise Edition, and
- (SE2) Oracle Database 19c Standard Edition 2
Now that I have given you all the basic information about the installation of Oracle Database 19c. It’s time to start the installation.
In order to install the Oracle Database 19c we first need to download its copy on our system. Similar to every other Oracle Database software, Oracle 19c is also available for Free to us.
Let’s see how you can do that –
The download of Oracle Database 19c is going to be about 3 GB in size. Therefore make sure you have sufficient hard disk space to store it along with a high-speed internet.
Currently Oracle Database 19c is only available for Microsoft OS, Linux x86 – 64, Oracle Solaris, IBM AIX, HP-UX and Linux on System Z. And you can download your copy of Oracle 19c from here.
Since the launch of Oracle DB 18c, Oracle has introduced a new installation process called image-based installation. And thanks to this new process we only have to download 1 ZIP file, which is unlike Oracle 12c and previous versions.
Oracle Database 19c Download Link
www.Oracle.com/Download
Currently there are only two editions of Oracle Database 19c that are available –
- Oracle Database 19c Enterprise Edition
- And, Oracle Database 19c Standard Edition 2
Both these editions are bundled within the single file that I mentioned earlier. But you don’t need to download them separately.
I have explained the download process of Oracle Database 19c in my Video tutorial. Thus, if you are still confused, then check out the video.
Extract Oracle 19c.
You must be wondering, what’s so special about extracting the files of Oracle 19c?
Perhaps you are right. But, I guess you will agree with me when I ask you this. Will you install your Oracle Database Server into your Download folder. I would never do that, would you?
Since the launch of image-based installation with Oracle 18c, the Oracle Universal installer (OUI) has become slightly strict with the Oracle Home location.
In image-based location the OUI takes the path of the directory where we have extracted the Oracle Database and assigns it as Oracle Home. Therefore, it becomes necessary for us to decide the location of our DB Home/Oracle Home beforehand and extract all the files from the ZIP folder onto that location.
What would I suggest you do?
First of all decide a location. Additionally, it’s recommended to locate your Oracle Home in any partition of your hard disk, except the one which contains your Operating system.
For example. I will create a folder in my D: Drive and name it ‘db_home’.
Once you’ve done that – copy the zip file which we downloaded earlier into that folder and extract its content there.
That’s all you have to do.
Now we are all set to start the installation process of Oracle Database 19c.
Launch the OUI
Once you have successfully extracted your Oracle 19c files and folders then you’re all set to launch the Oracle Universal Installer (OUI).
But before you do that, make sure you are logged on to your windows with an administrative user account. You have to follow this clause because it is mandatory. Consequently, failing to do so may cause mid installation error and crash the entire installation process.
Now that you have logged on to your windows with an administrative user, locate the directory where you have extracted your Oracle Database 19c. Thereafter you have to search the file with the name “setup.exe”.
Once you find the file right click on it and choose “Run as Administrator”.
That’s all you need to do to start the Oracle Universal Installer (OUI).
Screen 1: Configuration Option
Here we are presented with two configuration options.
- Create and configure a single instance database.
- Setup software only
If you select the first option, the oracle universal installer will not only install and configure the Oracle server on your system. But it will also create a starter database for you. This option is good for learning and practice purposes.
But if you go with the second option which is “setup software only”. It will do exactly what its name suggests. It will install and configure the Oracle Database server on your system. However OUI, the oracle universal installer will not create or configure any database for you.
Additionally, this option is best suitable when you are configuring a RAC or planning to perform an upgradation.
Action: Select The First Option – Create and Configure A Single Instance Database.
Screen 2: Select System Class.
In this step we need to select what type of installation of Oracle 19c we want to perform. OUI gives us two options.
First one is “Desktop Class” – You choose this option when you are installing Oracle Database 19c on your desktop or laptop. Because this option will perform the basic installation of Oracle 19c on your system.
Second option is “Server Class” – This is advanced installation. As it is generally used when you are installing Oracle Database 19c or any other version on Server grade machine.
Action: Select The First Option “Desktop Class”
Screen 3: Specify Oracle Home User.
There are so many things which Oracle Database server does in the background to keep your system running. And to do those tasks it creates 14 windows groups. Furthermore to handle those groups Oracle server needs a dedicated windows user.
In this step OUI gives us four options for creating or configuring Windows 10 user. These four options are –
- Use Virtual Account
- Or, Use Existing Windows User
- Create New Windows User
- Use Windows Built-In Account
Use Virtual Account
Select this option if you neither want to create a new user nor want to use any built-in or existing user.
Use Existing Windows User
Choose this if you want to use an existing standard or administrative windows user which is already created.
Create New Windows User
Oracle universal installer gives you an option for creating a dedicated user for your Oracle Database 19c. Using this you can create a Standard Windows User which is completely dedicated to your Oracle requirements. However this user will not be allotted with logon privileges. Therefore logging in to your system with this user won’t be possible. But you can modify it like any other standard windows user.
Use Windows Built-in Account
Choose this if you want to use one of those user accounts which Windows 10 has created for you during its installation.
For enhanced security Oracle recommends either using Virtual Account or Standard Windows user instead of windows built-in account. Also, you cannot change this Oracle Home user once the installation is done thus be careful while creating it.
Action: I will suggest creating a new and completely dedicated Oracle Database 19c user. To do that you have to select the third option which is “Create Windows User”.
Screen 4: Typical Installation.
Perhaps this is the most important step in this entire installation process of Oracle Database 19c. Here I suggest you bring out your pen and paper and get ready to note down some information.
Oracle Base
This is an editable drop-down input field. Therefore you have the freedom to either choose from the option given in the drop-down list or enter your desired directory location.
Oracle Base is a base directory for all your Oracle Products. Consequently this will be the location where all the necessary files like Oracle Home of Oracle Database 19c will be stored.
Here you will get a drop-down input field with one or two options already filled. Choose from any of these if you want to. But, if you want to assign a location of your choice then hit the “Browse” button and select the desirable location.
Action: Specify a directory location which is secure and stable.
Software Location.
Software location is famously known as Oracle Home or DB Home. This directory will be placed inside the Oracle Base. Also, it will be the directory where all the files and folders of Oracle Database 19c are placed.
Since Oracle introduced image-based installation in Oracle 18c we were not allowed to change or modify this location. But prior to that we were free to set this location according to our preference. Now, the Oracle Universal installer (OUI) takes the location of the setup files and assigns it as the Oracle Home or software location.
That’s why I asked you guys to move your Oracle Database 19c files from download folder to another location, which is more secure and stable.
Anyways, you can read more about Oracle Home here
Database File Location
Important files of Oracle Database 19c like Data files, redo log files, control files, server parameter files and the password files will be saved onto this directory. Furthermore it will be placed inside the software location of your Oracle 19c.
These files are most important and required for the proper functioning of the Oracle 19c database. Therefore make sure not to delete the content of this directory.
Action: Let it be set on default
Database Edition.
This is another drop-down list. Here you will find all the editions of Oracle 19c which you have downloaded. Fortunately Oracle Database 19c is only available in two editions and both of them come within the bundle which you have downloaded.
These editions of Oracle 19c are –
- Oracle Enterprise Edition
- And, Oracle Standard Edition 2
Action: Select Enterprise Edition
Character Set
As the name suggests, using this field you set the character set for your Database.
Action: Let it be set on default.
Global Database Name (S.I.D.)
The Global Database Name will be the name of your database and will serve as your database SID. You will need it while making a connection with your database using tools such as SQL Developer. By default, it is set as ORCL. If you want, you can change it to any other name, but make sure to remember it. I suggest you write it down somewhere as your Database SID.
Password
This will be the password for your Administrative user. Administrative users are special user. Using them you can alter the core of your Database. So, it’s always advisable to set a strong password for them.
Now you asked what are the names(username) of those Administrative users?
Oracle 19c has four Administrative users just like every other variant of Oracle Database. These are –
- SYS
- SYSTEM
- SYSMAN, and
- DBSNMP
You can use the name of either of these users as username and the password which you have specified in the field to log on to your database.
As I said earlier, these can modify the core of your database thus be careful with them.
Create as Container Database
In most of the cases this checkbox is already checked, but if for some weird reason it isn’t, then check it. If OUI finds this checkbox enabled then it will create a root container database for you.
Pluggable Database Name
In this field you will specify a unique name for your pluggable database. By default, it is set on ‘orclpdb’. This Pluggable Database (PDB) will work as a template for those PDBs which you will create in future.
Action: Let it be set on its default value. If you decide to change it, then note it down somewhere.
Screen 5: Prerequisite Checks
In this step the OUI will check the prerequisites. We will be good to install it if everything goes well. If there is any error, then the OUI will show you here.
Screen 6: Summary
On this screen, the OUI will show the summary of the configuration which you just did for your Oracle Database 19c installation. Here go ahead and press the Install button.
If possible save this information somewhere for future use. It’s always better to be safe than sorry!
Unlike 11g and 12c in Oracle 19c you will not get a DBCA separately for your database configuration. Because this new Oracle 19c Universal Installer has simplified the process.
Once the installation is done the installer will show you the URL for your Oracle Database 19c Enterprise Manager. Enterprise manager is a web-based tool for managing Oracle Database 19c. Copy and save that link. I suggest you bookmark that link.
That’s how we install Oracle Database 19c on Windows 10. This was a detailed tutorial on installation of Oracle 19c. I have crafted this tutorial by taking the perspective of interview and certification in my mind.
Though the tutorial is very detailed but if you still have any doubts then feel free to leave me a message on my Facebook.
Thanks and have a great day!
This time let us see how to install Oracle database 19c on Windows 10. This installation is not much different from Oracle 18c installation.
You can download the 19c Installation media for Windows from the below link.
Database Software Downloads | Oracle
Once downloaded, you have to extract the package to a folder. Please note, the extracted folder or the folder from which you will execute “Setup.exe” is going to be 19c Oracle Home. So, name the folder wisely. For example, I have extracted the files to a folder D:\Oracle\19c
You can start the installation by right clicking the Setup.exe and running as “Administrator”.
This will kick start the installation.
We will not create a database along with the software installation. Hence select “Set Up Software Only”
I suggest you to create a normal user (no administrator privileges) “oracle”, that will be used for all your future Oracle software installations. If you don’t have an account explicitly created yet for Oracle, the installation gives you an interface to create one. It’s your choice.
Please remember, earlier I said, the folder where you have extracted the installation media is going to be Oracle 19c home, aka Oracle Home. Rename the folder with an appropriate name before going ahead with the installation.
You will be asked to provide a location for Oracle Base. To content within the Oracle Home, you can specify a path like “D:\Oracle\19c\database” or “D:\Oracle\19c\db” or a folder name of your choice.
After few basic checks, the installation will proceed now. I strongly suggest you to assign a STATIC IP for your computer, prior continuing.
That’s it. No hacks, no modifications to config files or anything such to get the software installed on Windows!.
You can use “Database Configuration Assistant” for creating new database. We will see how to create a new database now. This time we will be creating a CDB (Container Database) and one PDB (Pluggable Database). You may go ahead with creating a single instance database when asked to choose between.
Select “Advanced Configuration”
You can choose between a normal database or Container database with PDB at next step. If you don’t wish to create the database as a container, uncheck the option “Create as Container database”. If you chose to continue with creating your database as container, I suggest you to leave the defaults as it is, other than the PDB name. If you need more PDBs, may add later to the container.
Leave the defaults, unless you know what you are doing.
If you are setting up the database for the LAB/Learning purposes, you may ignore these. However, for production instances, you must configure the Recovery area & setup archiving.
You can create a LISTENER for your database now. If you other Oracle database LISTENERs already running, choose a port number that wouldn’t raise a conflict.
Optionally you can setup Database Vault & Label Security at this step 
Okay, we need your attention here. Oracle automatically allocates 40% of total available physical memory for the newly created database. As I mentioned in the previous step, if you have more than one database running from the same computer, you must adjust the available memory to avoid choking the resources.
You may leave the defaults untouched here & you can change this value as sys admin when needed.
WebLogic Repos insist upon “AL32UTF8” Character Set & unless you have specific reasons to change the Character set, leave the defaults. If you are planning to migrate a legacy application that uses a different character set like Arabic (AR8MSWIN1256), please read this post
As per the post, you can use a different character set for a PDB starting from Oracle database versions 12.2.
We do love Scott bit too much, if yes, go with sample schemas (Trust me, you need it)
Enterprise Manager configuration is totally optional. If you choose to, will install an Express edition of Oracle Enterprise Manager (means more resources)
As usual, for a LAB environment I will go with same password for all accounts.
I would suggest you to accept the defaults at next step & change the passwords and unlock accounts as and when needed.
That should complete the installation and creation of database for 19c. Have comments? Please post them to me.
Back to: Oracle Tutorials for Beginners and Professionals
In this article, I will show you how to download and install Oracle 19c Software on Windows 10 64-bit Operating System.
Download Oracle 19c Software on Windows 10 64-Bit Operating System:
To download the Oracle 19c software please visit the following website and based on your operating system, download the appropriate ZIP folder.
https://www.oracle.com/in/database/technologies/oracle19c-windows-downloads.html
Once you visit the above URL, you will get the following web page. I have installed Windows 64-bit Operating System on my machine, so I have downloaded the following ZIP folder from the above website. So, based on your operating system you have to download the appropriate zip folder.
Once you download the ZIP folder, then UNZIP or EXTRACT the folder. It will take some time to extract the files and folders. Once the zip file is extracted, you will get so many files and folders as shown in the below image.
As you can see in the above image, one file called setup is downloaded which is of type Application. Now rename the extracted folder as db_home and move this folder to the root of your C Drive for smooth installation.
Now, double click on the setup files to start oracle software installation or right-click on the setup.exe file and select the Run as Administrator option. It will open one popup asking for Do you want to allow this app to make changes to your device? Simple click yes.
Note: The installation wizard may take several minutes to open. So be patient. At this point, two windows are opened. One is launching Oracle database Setup wizard and the other one is Oracle Database 19c Installer as shown in the below image.
Configuration Option
This step is a very important step and this step allows us to choose the database installation options. We have two options.
- Create and configure a single instance database.
- Setup software only
If you select the first option, the Oracle Universal Installer (OUI) will not only install and configure the Oracle server on your system. But it also creates a starter database for you. This option is good for learning and practice purposes.
But if you go with the second option which is “setup software only”. It will do exactly what its name suggests. It will install and configure the Oracle Database server on your system. However, the oracle installer will not create or configure any starter database for you. This option installs the essential components for creating and administering a database.
Here, from the configuration options section, I am selecting Create and Configure a single instance database option radio button and then click on the Next button as shown in the below image.
Select System Class:
Once you click on the Next button, it will open the System class window. Here, we need to select what type of installation of Oracle 19c we want to perform. It gives us two options.
- The first option is Desktop Class – We need to choose this option when we are installing Oracle Database 19c on our desktop or laptop. Because this option will perform the basic installation of Oracle 19c on our system. This option also includes a starter database and allows minimal configuration.
- The second option is Server Class – This is the advanced installation and it is generally used when we are installing Oracle Database 19c or any other version on Server grade machine.
As I am installing Oracle 19c on My laptop, so I am choosing the first option i.e. Desktop class, and then click on the Next button as shown in the below image.
Specify Oracle Home User
Once you click on the Next button, it will open the Oracle Home User window. There are so many things that the Oracle Database server does in the background to keep our system running. And to do those tasks it creates 14 windows groups. Furthermore, to handle those groups Oracle server needs a dedicated windows user.
In this step, Oracle Universal Installer (OUI) gives us four options for creating and configuring Windows users. These four options are as follows.
- Use Virtual Account: We need to select this option if we neither want to create a new user nor want to use any built-in or existing user. Select this option to use Virtual Account as Oracle Home user.
- Use Existing Windows User: We need to select this option if we want to use an existing standard or administrative windows user which is already created. Select this option to use existing user credentials for Oracle Home user.
- Create New Windows User: Oracle universal installer (OUI) gives us an option for creating a dedicated user for our Oracle Database 19c. Using this option, we can create a Standard Windows User which is completely dedicated to our Oracle requirements. However, this user will not be allotted login privileges. Therefore, logging in to your system with this user won’t be possible. But you can modify it like any other standard windows user. Select this option to create a new local Windows user to be used as an Oracle Home user.
- Use Windows Built-In Account: We need to select this option if we want to use one of those user accounts which Windows 10 has created for you during its installation. Select this option to use Windows built-in account for Oracle Home user.
Note: For enhanced security, Oracle recommends either using a Virtual Account or Standard Windows user instead of windows built-in account. Also, you cannot change this Oracle Home user once the installation is done thus be careful while creating it.
Here, I am selecting the “Use Windows Built-in Account” option and then click on the Next button as shown in the below image.
Once you click on the Next button, one pop-up will open. Simply click on the Yes button as shown in the below image.
Typical Installation:
Once you click on the Yes button, it will open the Installation window. This is the most important step in the Oracle installation process. Let us discuss this step in detail.
Oracle Base
This is an editable drop-down input field. Therefore, you have the freedom to either choose from the option given in the drop-down list or enter your desired directory location.
Oracle Base is a base directory for all your Oracle Products. Consequently, this will be the location where all the necessary files like Oracle Home of Oracle Database 19c will be stored.
Here you will get a drop-down input field with one or two options already filled. Choose from any of these if you want to. But if you want to assign a location of your choice then hit the “Browse” button and select the desired location.
Software Location
Software location is famously known as Oracle Home or DB Home. This directory will be placed inside the Oracle Base. Also, it will be the directory where all the files and folders of Oracle Database 19c are placed.
Since Oracle introduced image-based installation in Oracle 18c we were not allowed to change or modify this location. But prior to that, we were free to set this location according to our preference. Now, the Oracle Universal installer (OUI) takes the location of the setup files and assigns it as the Oracle Home or software location.
Database File Location
The Important Oracle Database 19c files like Data files, redo log files, control files, server parameter files, and password files will be saved onto this directory. Furthermore, it will be placed inside the software location of your Oracle 19c.
These files are most important and required for the proper functioning of the Oracle 19c database. Therefore, make sure not to delete the content of this directory.
Database Edition
This is another drop-down list. Here you will find all the editions of Oracle 19c which you have downloaded. Fortunately, Oracle Database 19c is only available in two editions and both of them come within the bundle which you have downloaded. These editions of Oracle 19c are as follows.
- Oracle Enterprise Edition
- Oracle Standard Edition 2
Character Set
As the name suggests, using this field we can set the character set for our Database.
Global Database Name
The Global Database Name will be the name of your database and will serve as your database SID. You will need it while making a connection with your database using tools such as SQL Developer. By default, it is set as ORCL. If you want, you can change it to any other name, but make sure to remember it.
Password
This will be the password for our administrative user. Administrative users are the special users. Using them we can alter the core of our Database. So, it’s always advisable to set a strong password for them.
Now you may have one question, what are the usernames of those administrative users?
Oracle 19c has four administrative users just like every other variant of Oracle Database. These are as follows.
- SYS
- SYSTEM
- SYSMAN
- DBSNMP
You can use the name of either of these users as a username and the password which you have specified in the field to log on to your database.
Create as Container Database
In most cases, this checkbox is already checked, but if for some weird reason it isn’t, then check it. If OUI finds this checkbox enabled then it will create a root container database for you.
Pluggable Database Name
In this field, you will specify a unique name for your pluggable database. By default, it is set on ‘orclpdb’. This Pluggable Database (PDB) will work as a template for those PDBs which you will create in the future.
Here, I am setting the following.
- Oracle Base: D:\app\
- Database Location: D:\app\oradata
- Database Edition: Oracle Enterprise Edition
- Character Set: Unicode
- Global Database Name: orcl
- Password: abcd1988;
- Create as Container Database: Checked the check box
- Pluggable Database Name: orclpdb
Once you set the above settings, click on the Next button as shown in the below image.
Prerequisite Checks
Once you click on the Next button, the Prerequisite Checks window will open. Here, the OUI will check the prerequisites. We will be good to install it if everything goes well. If there is any error, then the OUI will show you here. Here, I don’t get any error, so it moves to the next window.
Summary
In this window, the OUI (Oracle Universal Installer) will show you the summary of the configuration which you just did for your Oracle Database 19c installation. Here go ahead and simply press the Install button as shown in the below image.
It will take some time to install the Oracle Software. Once the installation is done the installer will show you the URL for your Oracle Database 19c Enterprise Manager. Enterprise manager is a web-based tool for managing Oracle Database 19c. Copy and save that link for future use and finally click on the Close button.
This is how we can install Oracle Database 19c on Windows 10.
In the next article, I am going to discuss How to work with Oracle 19c Database. Here, in this article, I try to explain the step-by-step process to download and install the Oracle 19c Software on Windows 10 64-bit Operating System. I hope you enjoy this How to Install Oracle 19c on Windows 10 64-bit Operating System article.

Installing Oracle 19c on Windows 10 isn’t as hard as it sounds! Just follow a few steps, and you’ll have it up and running in no time. We’ll download the software, install it, and configure it properly. By the end of this tutorial, you’ll be ready to use Oracle 19c on your Windows 10 machine.
In the following steps, we will download Oracle 19c, install the software, and configure the database. This guide will walk you through each part of the process, ensuring you can successfully install Oracle 19c on your Windows 10 computer.
Step 1: Download Oracle 19c Software
Go to the official Oracle website, sign in or create an account, and download the Oracle 19c software for Windows.
Oracle requires you to have an Oracle account to access downloads, so make sure you have your login details ready. The download might take a while depending on your internet speed.
Step 2: Extract the Downloaded Files
Extract the downloaded ZIP file to a folder on your computer using a tool like WinRAR or 7-Zip.
After extracting, make sure all files are intact and accessible. This will help avoid issues during the installation process.
Step 3: Run the Setup File
Navigate to the extracted folder and run the «setup.exe» file to start the Oracle Universal Installer.
The installer will guide you through the setup process. Make sure to read each screen carefully and follow the prompts.
Step 4: Select Installation Type
Choose the «Set Up Software Only» option for a standard installation.
This option allows you to configure the software separately after installation, giving you more control over the process.
Step 5: Configure Oracle Home User
Select a user for the Oracle Home User, either an existing Windows user or a new user.
Using a dedicated user for Oracle Home helps manage permissions and enhances security.
Step 6: Specify Installation Location
Choose the destination folder where you want Oracle 19c to be installed.
Ensure there’s enough space on the drive you select. The installer will show you how much space is required.
Step 7: Install the Software
Click «Install» to begin the installation process.
The installer will copy files and set up necessary components. This may take a while, so be patient.
Step 8: Create and Configure a Database
After installation, use the Database Configuration Assistant (DBCA) to create and configure your database.
DBCA simplifies the database creation process by providing a step-by-step wizard for configuration.
Step 9: Verify Installation
Open SQL*Plus or Oracle SQL Developer and connect to your new database to verify that the installation was successful.
Running a few SQL commands can help ensure everything is working as expected.
After completing these steps, you should have a fully functional Oracle 19c installation on your Windows 10 system.
