How to Create a 9i Database by DBCA with Graphic Interface

It seems that running DBCA with GUI will hang at some specific steps under x-window environments, therefore, we should avoid to step on the traps during creating a database.

Before you create a new database by DBCA with graphic interface, you should check the environmental variables are correct.
[oracle@oracle9i ~]$ echo $ORACLE_BASE
/u01/app/oracle
[oracle@oracle9i ~]$ echo $ORACLE_HOME
/u01/app/oracle/product/9.2.0

Since the fields of sid and db_name will prompt during creation to ask DBA to fill a valid value, so $ORACLE_SID is irrelevant to this operation.

Let's run the DBCA:
[oracle@oracle9i ~]$ dbca
The screenshots of these steps are as below:
  1. Welcome
  2. Select the operation
  3. Select a template
  4. Specify db_name and sid
  5. Select connection mode
  6. Set initialization parameters
  7. Database Storage
  8. Creation options
  9. Creating database
  10. Set sys and system password
The following is the summary generated by DBCA before doing creation:
Use this database template to create a pre-configured database optimized for general purpose usage.
