Creating an Oracle 8i database on NT from the command line only

decide on your instance identifier
Create the initialization initSID.ora parameter file.
do the oradim thing:
oradim -new -sid ADPDB -intpwd password -startmode manual [-pfile c:\oracle\ora81\database\initADPDB.ora]
This command will create a service on NT named OracleServiceADPDB. The internal password will be set to "password". The startmode argument determines whether the OracleServiceADPDB service will startup automatically upon startup of the NT server. manual means that the service must be manually started. you can alternatively use auto instead of manual. The pfile argument should point to the init.ora file for the new instance.
-sid is used to specify the name of the instance
Follow this link if you want to know what oradim is.
the -intpwd specifies the password for the INTERNAL account. The -INTPWD option is not required. If you do not specify it, operating system authentication is used, and no password is required. See "Automatically Enabling Operating System Authentication during Installation" for a description of features.
-pfile is optional, if specified it creates a key in the registry named ora_adpdb_pfile
set ORACLE_SID
c:\foo\bar SET ORACLE_SID=ADPDB
or
create a key/value pair in the registry. (key=ORACLE_SID, value=ADPDB)

start SQL*Plus and connect to your Oracle instance as SYSDBA.

    SQLPLUS /NOLOG
    CONNECT internal/password as SYSDBA

start an instance

    STARTUP PFILE=c:\oracle\ora81\admin\ADPDB\pfile\initADPDB.ora NOMOUNT

Create the database. Use the sql command CREATE DATABASE with its parameters. find a sample create database
run ?\rdbms\admin\catalog.sql, ?\rdbms\admin\catproc.sql, ?\rdbms\admin\caths.sql. SYSTEM should run ?\sqlplus\admin\pupbld.sql. catalog.sql creates the data dictionary view, catproc.sql creates oracle provided stored procedures like DBMS_OUTPUT. caths.sql (?) and pupbld.sql creates a table allowing you from block users from using sqlplus.
This can be done using svrmgrl:
c:\foo> svrmgrl svrmgrl> @%oracle_home%\rdbms\admin\catalog svrmgrl> @%oracle_home%\rdbms\admin\catproc
