Yes it does. The scripts are in $ORACLE_HOME/install on older than 7.3 versions of the rdbms. On 7.3 and higher they are in $ORACLE_HOME/rdbms/install/sql

The scripts to pay attention to are:  

  crdb.orc
  crdb2.orc
  init.orc
  cnfg.orc

These are the scripts that the installer uses to create and instance. Received on Mon Feb 03 1997 - 00:00:00 CST
