Database Creation Method Database Installation

Figure 17. Database Creation Method Select a method from those shown in Figure 17 . Create database Create new databaseuserstablespaces depending on the type of database server and database schema. This is the easiest way to attach the required database to Oracle Service Registry. Note that you must have the credentials of the database administrator. Create schema Create a new schema in existing database. Select this method if you have access to an existing empty database with the ability to create tables and indexes. This option is suitable when you does not know the administrators credentials. We assume the administrator has already created a new databaseuserstablespaces for this option. Drop database Drops the whole databaseuserstablespaces. Note that this option depends on the type of database server. Drop schema Drops all tables in the database but leave the empty database. Configure database Configure registry database. Use this method if the registry database already exists, for example, from a previous Oracle Service Registry installation of the same release number, and fill in only the connection parameters.

The Create database option on the installerSetup tool does not mean to create a new physical database. The installation process creates a new tablespace, database user associated with that tablespace and a new database schema. Then the database schema is populated with default data. If you want to create more UDDI databases such as databases for publication and discovery registries, you must create them using different database users. Page 78
