Oracle Database Manageability

Easy Lightweight Install and Upgrade

Oracle Database 10g has significantly improved its installation, configuration and upgrade.
The most common installs can be performed from a single CDROM in less than 20 minutes. The Oracle installer automatically performs pre-install checks and if any problems are detected, it recommends corrective steps. A fully functional, feature rich Enterprise Manager Database Control console is now automatically configured to allow administrators to manage right out of the box.
When upgrading, a major consolidation of steps reduces the upgrade time and the chance of human error. Pre-upgrade checks identify changes that need to be done before the upgrade begins and a validation step at the end confirms the success of the upgrade. The Database Upgrade Assistant (DBUA) provides an easy-to-use interface that guides you through performing a complete database upgrade.
