Yes of course. But I would prefer a native java solution, which is likely to exist since oracle's dbca is written in java :)

Because our java soft needs to be installed on several platforms with several database systems. So we wrote a java program which creates the database for our application on MS-SQL, Postgres and SAPDB. And now we also need oracle support.

(Is 'why' really a question a programmer is allowed to ask? ;)
