Installing Oracle 23ai on Windows
Reviewing the Documentation
Before beginning an installation of Oracle Database 12c, you need to review several
docu
ments so that you completely understand the installation requirements. These
documents
include the following:
■
The installation guide for your operating system
■
The general release notes for the version of Oracle you are installing
■
The operating-system-specific release notes for the version of Oracle you are installing
■
Any quick-start installation guides
Before you begin, review each of these documents so that you are thoroughly familiar
with the installation process and any known associated issues.
Reviewing the System Requirements
The next task is to review your server-hardware specifications to see whether they meet
or exceed the specifications in the install documentation. Minimally, this means you must
confirm that your server meets the installation requirements in these four areas:
■
The operating system is of the proper release level.
■
The server has adequate memory to perform the install and run an instance.
■
The server has adequate CPU resources to perform the install and run an instance.
■
The server has adequate disk storage space to perform the install and run a database.
Exploring new Oracle versions is always a good idea, especially when the installation process
is as straightforward as it is with 23ai for Windows.
