Oracle Database Administration from Zero to Hero - Creating an Oracle Database (Part 1 of 3)

This lecture covers the planning and creation of Oracle databases, focusing on the Database Configuration Assistant (DBCA) and manual methods. It discusses planning considerations like capacity, CPU, memory, and disk space, as well as the importance of database names and character sets. The lecture also introduces the listener, a component for managing client connections, and explains how to configure it using the Network Configuration Assistant (Net CA).
