So, Oracle has finally released the on premise
version of its latest offering for windows user. Let’s check it out. What’s up internet! I am Manish from RebellionRider.com and today
I am going to show you how to install Oracle Database 19c on windows 10 64bit. Oracle Database 19c is not available for 32bit
version of Windows 10. Before you start commenting and asking when
will it be available for 32bit? Guys I don’t think it’s ever gonna happen. Sad but it is what it is. Ok, Oracle has introduced a few changes in
the installation process of Oracle 19c thus I suggest you to watch this video till the
very end.
I don’t want you to get stuck anywhere. I’ll be installing Oracle Database 19c on
Windows 10 professional 64 bit version, but if you want to install it on Windows 7 or
8 then you can still follow these steps as the installation process is the same. But first please check the compatibility. For your convenience I have listed down all
the Oracle 19c compatible operating systems in the corresponding blog. You can find its link in the description. Anyways this tutorial is going to be your
step wise guide for properly installing Oracle Database 19c. Before I jump onto it, just want to ask you
to subscribe to the channel if you haven’t already. Also, make sure to press the bell icon to
stay updated. Now, let’s start! Step 1: Download the Oracle Database 19c. In order to install Oracle 19c on your windows
10, you first need to download it. To do that go to Oracle.com
Now, come down a little bit and click this Downloads icon.
After that you will be on the downloads page. Here also, scroll down a little bit and come
to this ‘Developer Download’ section. In this section click this ‘Database’
option. Great. This will take you to the database download
section. Here click the first option which is Database
19c. Here we are on the download page of Oracle
Database 19c. On this page, first you need to accept the
license agreement. Done! After that come to this Oracle Database 19c
section. In this section you can see all the Oracle
Database 19c variants for different operating systems offered by Oracle.
As we are installing Oracle 19c on windows
10 thus we will concentrate on the first link which is for Windows operating system. There are two ways of downloading Oracle 19c
on your windows system. You can either click on the word ‘ZIP’. This will download the zip file of Oracle
19c for you. Or you can click this ‘see all’. Doing that will take you to another Oracle
Database 19c download page. You know what, for your convenience, I will
be leaving the direct link of this page in the description of the video.
Anyways, I will choose the first option to
download Oracle 19c for my windows 10. For that click on the word ‘zip’. After that you will have to sign in. If you already have an account on Oracle’s
website, then it’s well and good. If not, then create one; after all it’s
free of cost. Once you fill the username and password fields
and hit the ‘Sign In’ button download will start automatically. Depending on the speed of your computer and
internet, this download of Oracle 19c could take some time as the files are around 3 gigabytes. To save the time I have already downloaded
Oracle database 19c on my system. Here it is. With this, step 1 which is “downloading
oracle database 19c” is completed.
Now let’s head over to step number 2. Step 2: Extract the Oracle 19c
Once you have successfully downloaded all the files of Oracle Database 19c on your windows
system, next you have to extract them. In the past Oracle Universal Installer let
us set the location for db home directory. But, since the release of Oracle Database
18c we are introduced to a new concept which is Image Based Installation. In image-based installation we are not allowed
to do that. Rather Oracle universal installer takes the
location of its setup files and fix that as Oracle db home. For example, right now all the setup files
of Oracle Database 19c are placed in download folder on my system. If I run setup.exe now, then the Oracle Universal
Installer will set the location of my download folder as Oracle db home. Keep that in mind, we first need to decide
where we want to create our db home directory. Once you’ve decided that then extract the
setup files of Oracle Database 19c into that location. Download folder will never be my db home. And it should not be yours as well.
So, what I am going to do now. I am going to create a folder in my C drive
and name it “App”. This folder is going to be my DB home. Let’s do that –
Folder created. Now I will copy the downloaded zip file of
Oracle 19c here in this folder. Done! Next, we just have to extract the content
of this zip file here. Now, I will also change the name of the folder
which we just extracted. Let’s name it db_home. That’s all we have to do. Done. We have successfully extracted all the files
and folders of Oracle Database 19c onto our desired location. Now we are all set to start the Oracle Database
19c installation. So, let’s move on to the next step. Step 3: Install Oracle 19c on Windows 10. Before we start the installation of Oracle
Database 19c.
Let’s quickly look at its minimum hardware
requirement. Installation of Oracle Database 19c requires
– • 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. Also make sure that your system is connected
to the internet. For more details check out the corresponding
blog. Link is in the description. Ok, now that we are clear with the minimum
hardware requirements, let’s begin the installation. Before you start the installation, just check
if you are logged into your windows with an administrative user or not.
If not, then sign in to your windows with
an administrative user. It is a mandatory clause which you have to
follow. Not doing so will cause mid installation error
and crash the entire process. I am already logged onto my windows with an
administrative user. Which means I am good to go! Now get into the folder where you have extracted
your Oracle Database 19c. Here find the file with name setup.exe.
Here it is –
Now right click on it and choose ‘run as administrator’. Accept the warning and march ahead. Here comes your Oracle Universal installer. This installation is going to be an 8 step
process. In these 8 steps we will be configuring Oracle
Database 19c on our windows 10 operating system. So, let’s do it
Screen 1: Select Configuration option! Here we are presented with two configuration
options. 1. Create and configure a single instance database. 2. 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 also create a starter database for you. This option is good for learning and practice
purposes.
If you go with the second option which is
“setup software only”. This option will do exactly what its name
suggests. It will install and configure the Oracle Database
server on your system. But OUI, the oracle universal installer will
not create or configure any database for you. This option is best suitable when you are
configuring a RAC or planning to perform an upgradation. I will go with the first option “Create
and Configure A Single Instance Database”. Check the radio button and then click next
and march forward. 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. This option will perform the basic installation
of Oracle 19c on your system. Second option is “Server Class” – This
is advanced installation. It is generally used when you are installing
Oracle Database 19c or any other version on Server grade machine. As I am installing Oracle Database 19c on
my laptop thus I will select the first option which is desktop class. Check the radio button and then click next
and march forward. Screen 3: Specify Oracle Home User. There are so many things which Oracle Database
server does in the background to keep your system running. To do those tasks it creates 14 windows groups. And to handle those groups Oracle server needs
a dedicated windows user. That is exactly what we are going to do in
this step of installing Oracle Database 19c.
As you can see here, we are presented with
4 options. We can either use a Virtual Account, an Existing
windows user or Windows Built-In account. If none of these options suit you then you
can create a fresh Windows user right from this installer. In case you neither want to create a new user
account nor want to use any built in existing user then you can go for the first option,
which is “Use Virtual Account”. For enhanced security, Oracle recommends either
using Virtual Account or Standard Windows user instead of windows built-in account. Anyways, I will be selecting the 3rd option
and creating a new windows user for my Oracle Database 19c installation.
So let’s do that –
I will name my windows user “RebellionRider” and password will be oracle. Done. Before we jump ahead, I just want to share
one more thing. This windows user which we are creating in
this step will not have logon privileges. Hence, we cannot logon to the windows using
this user. However, you can manage this user like any
other windows user you have.
Moreover, you cannot change or modify this
windows user once the installation is complete. Now click next and march forward. Screen 4: Typical Install Configuration
Perhaps this is the most important step in this entire installation process. Here I suggest you to bring out your pen and
paper and get ready to note down some information. Let’s see what we have here –
The first field is ‘Oracle Base’. This is a drop-down input field. Here you specify the base directory location
for all your Oracle products. This will be the location where all the files
and directories like Oracle home will be stored. Let’s see what options we have in this drop
down list. Here in this list we are given two options. You can choose any of them. You can even set a directory location of your
preference. For example, let’s say I want to install
my Oracle Database 19c at location c:\app\RebellionRider. I simply have to feed this location into the
input field. Like this –
Second field is “software location”. This is your DB home or say Oracle Home directory. 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 to our preference. Nevertheless –
Here you can see that – the location which is specified in this field is the one where
we extracted our Oracle Database 19c. That’s why I asked you guys to move your
Oracle Database 19c files from download folder to other location, which is more secure and
stable. Now the third field – The third field is
“Database file location” This is the directory which will contain important
files of your Oracle Database 19c. By important I mean – files like Data files,
redo log files, control files, server parameter files and the password files. You can consider all of these files as the
soul of your database. This directory in most cases is located inside
the Oracle Base. However, if you want you can change it. But I am good with the default one, so I will
not change it.
Fourth field – “Database Edition”. This is a drop-down selection list. In this drop-down menu all the available edition
of Oracle Database 19c are listed. Right now Oracle Database 19c is only available
in two editions Enterprise Edition and Standard Edition 2. I will select the first option which is “Enterprise
Edition”. I am good with that. Fifth field – The character set. As the name suggests using this field you
set the character set for your Database. I am good with this default UNICOD standard,
so I won’t change it. Now, the coming three fields, global database
name, password and Pluggable Database Name are the most important settings. You will be needing them in the future to
connect with your database. Thus, I suggest you to write them down somewhere. Let’s see what these fields are. Global Database Name. Whatever name you will be specifying here
in this field will be the name of your database. That name will also serve as the SID.
You will need this SID while making the connection
with your database using tools like SQL Developer. By default, it is set as ORCL. If you want, you can change it. But make sure to either remember it or note
it down somewhere. In the next two fields we will be setting
up a password. This will be the password of your administrative
users such as sys or system. If you ever need to logon to your database
using an administrative user, then you can use sys or system as the username and the
password will be the string which you will be specifying here in these two fields. Once again, I suggest you to write this password
down somewhere or remember it. Now, let’s fill it up and move ahead. I will set Oracle as my password for this
demonstration. I may get a warning as my password is not
up to the Oracle standards. But for the purpose of demonstration I am
Ok with it. Next, we have a check box – which is “Create
as container Database”. This check box is already checked. If it is not in your case, then make sure
to check it.
Doing so will make our database a container
database. A container database can support maximum up
to 252 pluggable databases. Ok, what’s next –
Next is “Pluggable Database Name” – In this field you will be specifying a unique
name for your pluggable database. By default, it is set on ‘orclpdb’. For this demonstration I will not be changing
it. But if you want you can modify it. Just make sure to note it down somewhere. That’s it – we have properly done all
the settings for our Oracle Database 19c. Now, click next and march forward. As I mentioned, here I got the warning, saying
the password I entered is not up to the Oracle standard.
Here just click Yes and move ahead. Now the Oracle Universal Installer will check
all the prerequisites which are required for installing Oracle Database 19c on windows
10 operating system. These prerequisites are minimum hardware,
minimum Ram availability, Free hard-disk space and many more. If there are any errors, then OUI will show
you here. Fortunately, no errors! Which means we are good to go. Next, we just have to hit the install button. Before I do that, I just want to tell you
that don’t go anywhere.
There is one more thing left in the end of
this installation. Now let’s hit this button and install Oracle
19c. Oracle Database 19c is a very hefty software
thus installation will take some time depending on your hardware. I guess, here I will fast forward the installation,
so that we can save some time. Great! Installation done. Unlike Oracle Database 11g or 12c, here we
don’t get DBCA to unlock the sample users. We have to do that manually. I’ll let you know on my Facebook if I will
be doing a tutorial on that. So make sure to follow me there. Anyways, the last thing which is left in this
installation is to copy the link of Oracle Database 19c Enterprise Manager. Here it is. You just have to copy it and then book mark
it in your browser.
Now hit close and you have your Oracle Database
19c installed on your windows 10. If you like this video, then please give it
a thumbs up and subscribe to the channel if you haven’t already. That is the tutorial on how to install oracle
database 19c on windows 10. Thanks for watching, this is Manish from RebellionRider.com.
