Some simple options:
- The 9.x installer still gives the option of
creating scripts in the old fashioned way. The key is
not to choose a "template" database. A little
scrubbing and they work fine...but man do they take a
while to create a db nowadays.
- My preferred option is to create a skeleton db with
just system/undo/temp/pfile (using the installer or
otherwise) and get everything just right. Then zip it
up with the text of a "create controlfile" and voila!
You have a db ready to go - whenever you need a new
one, you just unzip, hack the controlfile to rename it
and bingo...super quick and be definition, all your
databases have the same basic starting point
