Install Oracle database
In this video, we will show you how to install the Oracle database on your computer to be able to connect to the Ozeki SMS Gateway. Installing the Oracle database involves a series of steps that require careful attention to detail. First, download the Oracle Database Installer. Go to the official Oracle Technology Network website, then download the appropriate installer for the Oracle Database version you intend to install. Locate the downloaded installer file and run it. When the installation process is done, click on the "Finish" button.
Create database schema
Creating a database schema involves defining a logical container within your Oracle database where you can organize and store database objects such as tables, views, indexes, and other database-related structures. Use a SQL client tool, like SQL Plus, to connect to your Oracle Database instance using a valid username and password with administrative privileges. Create tablespace, alert session, create user, grant DBA to user, disconnect, then enter username and password to connect. Now that you're connected as a user, you can start creating database objects within the schema. Create a table, create sequence x, and then create a trigger. As the schema owner, you can manage and modify the objects within the schema as needed.
