How to Create a Database in Oracle APEX?

Published in Database Administration 2 mins read

You can't directly create a database within Oracle APEX. Oracle APEX is a web development framework that runs on top of an existing Oracle database. To use Oracle APEX, you need to first have an Oracle database set up.

Here's how you can create a database in Oracle:

  1. Install Oracle Database: Download and install the appropriate version of Oracle Database for your operating system. You can find the latest downloads on the Oracle website.
  2. Create a Database Instance: After installation, you'll need to create a database instance, which is a collection of files and processes that manage the database.
  3. Create a Database: Within the database instance, you can create one or more databases. You'll need to define the database name, character set, and other parameters.

You can use Oracle SQL Developer or other tools to manage your database once it's created.

Example:

CREATE DATABASE my_database
  DATAFILE '/u01/app/oracle/oradata/my_database/system01.dbf' SIZE 100M
  AUTOEXTEND ON NEXT 10M MAXSIZE UNLIMITED
  LOGFILE GROUP 1 ('/u01/app/oracle/oradata/my_database/redo01.log' SIZE 50M)
  DEFAULT TABLESPACE users;

This SQL statement creates a database named "my_database" with a data file named "system01.dbf" located in the specified path.

Remember, Oracle APEX requires an existing Oracle database before you can start building applications.
