The General Purpose and Transaction Processing type and the Data Warehouse type use preconfigured database templates optimized for each type of database.

During installation, Oracle Universal Installer (OUI) starts Oracle Net Configuration Assistant (NETCA) and Oracle Database Configuration Assistant (DBCA), and installs the preconfigured database without further input. During database installation, OUI displays a progress indicator.

DBCA processing for these two configuration types creates a starter database, and configures the Oracle network services.
