Title: Chapter 3 Preparing the Database Environment
Course: RITA MC - ORACLE ADMINISTRATION I > Section: Unit 1 - Database Administration I

A number of tools are available for managing an Oracle database, beginning with the
Oracle Universal Installer (the OUI). This is an Oracle product in its own right that
is used to manage the installation and maintenance of many other products. The
installation of Oracle software has, as far as possible, been standardized for all products on all
platforms—but there are platform and product variations. Before installing anything, it is essential
to read the product’s release notes for the platform concerned. This chapter goes through the
process of planning the installation and then installing the Oracle Database 11g software with
examples from Linux and Windows.

Chapter 3 Learning Outcomes:

- Identify the Tools for Administering an Oracle Database

- Install the Oracle Software by Using the Oracle Universal Installer (OUI)
