How to create a new database after initally installing oracle database 11g Express Edition

Question

I have installed Oracle Database 11g Express Edition on my pc  windows 7  and I have installed Oracle SQL Developer as well    I want to create a simple database to start with  maybe with one table or two and then use Oracle SQL Developer to insert data and query it   When I open Oracle SQL Developer  it asks me to create a new connection  therefore it assumes that a database has already been created    So my question is  how do I create an initial database in Oracle 11g

How do I create an initial database      You created a database when you installed XE   At some point the installation process  prompted you to enter a password for the SYSTEM account    Use that to connect to the XE database using the SQL commandline on the application menu     The XE documentation is online and pretty helpful   Find it here   It s worth mentioning that 11g XE has several limitations  one of which is only one database per server  So using the pre-installed database is the sensible option

When you installed XE     it automatically created a database called  XE     You can use your login  system  and password that you set to login      Key info  server   you defined  port  1521 database  XE username  system password   you defined   Also Oracle is being difficult and not telling you easily create another database   You have to use SQL or another tool to create more database besides  XE

Save the following code in a batch file  ex  createOraDbWin bat   Change the parameter values like app name  ora dir etc    Run the file with administrative privileges  The batch file creates a basic

If you wish to create a new schema in XE  you need to create an USER and assign its privileges  Follow these steps    Open the SQL Plus Command-line   SQL gt  connect sys as sysdba    Enter the password   SQL gt  CREATE USER myschema IDENTIFIED BY Hga amp dshja  SQL gt  ALTER USER myschema QUOTA unlimited ON SYSTEM  SQL gt  GRANT CREATE SESSION  CONNECT  RESOURCE  DBA TO myschema  SQL gt  GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES TO myschema    Now you can connect via Oracle SQL Developer and create your tables
