With Response File
First of all, let's take a look at the content of the response file.
[oracle@primary-19c ~]$ ll db-19c-software-only-installation.rsp

Without Response File
Without response file, we have to put all arguments in the command line.

Next, you may be interested in How to Create a 19c Database by DBCA with Silent Mode.
Very interesting. Is there any way to provide also the root password to have it all running silently?
I don’t see any attribute to set root password either.
Hi. Would it be worth mentioning that you had already set your ORACLE_HOME?
Good point! Since the absolute location of runInstaller may vary from one case to anther, so I use $ORACLE_HOME to indicate the relative path of the file, which can never fail us to execute it in any case.
And OK, I’ll mention it in the post. Thanks for your comment.
