Oracle 12c Create stand-alone database(non-CDB and non-PDB)

In Oracle 12c, Container Databases were introduced which allowed for multiple separate database to be placed in a single oracle instance to reduce the amount of resource consumed.   However, it is still possible to create a traditional stand-alone database without the features or restriction of a CDB.  This procedure covers the creation of a 12c standalone database using Oracle Database Configuration Assistant in a Windows environment.

 

  1. Logon your windows server as the administrator.

 

  1. Open Oracle Database Configuration Assistant.

  1. At the Database Operation Page select “Create Database”

  1. At the Summary Page, press the Finish button.

  1. The Progress Page, a confirmation of script creation will be displayed, once complete press OK.

  1. The CDB will now be created in Windows.
