Oracle Database XE 21c cannot create database

User_81UY9

in Oracle Database Express Edition (XE)

I am installing an Oracle Database XE 21c in Windows 64bit architecture. Youtube installation looks easy but mine did fail on database creation!

I am invoking a DBCA tool and I am encountering a memory configuration issue. Database XE max should be 2GB for both SGA and PGA but dbca does not allow me to continue with less than 2GB else it fails. And when I put more than 2GB, it will ask for more and says ORA-00821: Specified value of SGA_target 2096M is too small, needs to be atleast 2240M.

I need help, been working on this for quite a while. Thanks in advance.

    Is error occurring during the installation of XE, or after it is completed?

    Did you receive an error during installation?

    ORA-00821 occurs during installation, and it is impossible to connect to the database
using sqlplus as sysdba "sqlplus / as sysdba".

    The problem is it won't allow me to create a database with more than 2GB RAM of PGA+SGA(Database Express limitation) but it won't allow me to create with too small SGA for shared pool size. I have 64GB of RAM in my machine, running MS Windows SQLServer 2019

    Any word on this? I have the exact same problem. Seems to be high-memory machines. I have Windows 10 Pro for Workstations... 32-core, 48GB RAM.

    /************************

    ** Solution was found: **

    ************************/

    1) "Start button" -> Find [Control Panel] -> [System Configuration] -> [Boot] folder.

    2) Click [Advanced Options...] button. In the form "Boot Advanced Options"

    check the "[ ] Number of processors " checkbox, then select number of CPUs (about 8). Save your changes.

    (Just in case - I selected 4 CPUs).

    4) Restart your PC.

    3) Install Oracle 21c XE database. Install process is to slow (took about 30 min), but without errors.

    4) When installation is done, check the services (using the command "lsnrctl status").

    Services "XE", "XEXDB", "XEPDB1" have to work.

    5) Go go [Advanced Options...] of your PC (see item#2) and UNCHECK the "[ ] Number of processors " checkbox. Save your changes.

    6) Restart your PC. Database will work as expected.

    7) Enjoy :)

    @User_GMSNN THANK YOU!!! this worked for me. I have a ryzen 5950x with 16cores and I bumped it down to 4 for the install. The errors I was getting was mostly about TNS, but turns out the database wasnt installed correctly and the installer did not tell me.
