Oracle Database Configuration Assistant (DBCA) is a tool for creating and configuring an Oracle database.
DBCA has the following primary database functions:
Create and delete databases
Create database templates
Create, plug, unplug, and delete pluggable databases (PDBs)
Add and delete database instances
Register databases in Oracle Enterprise Manager Cloud Control
Configure and register database options (such as Oracle Database Vault) with the Directory Server
Note:
Cluster Managed Services are no longer managed through DBCA. Instead, use the Cluster Managed Services page in Oracle Enterprise Manager Cloud Control, if available, or SRVCTL. For more information, see Oracle Real Application Clusters Administration and Deployment Guide.See Also:
