Creating the Content Manager database
Content Manager Server requires a Content Manager database. Use a PowerShell script to create a Microsoft SQL Server or Oracle database.
Before you begin

Before running a PowerShell script:
- On Oracle—make sure that there are no open database connections and configure the Oracle database server.
- On Microsoft SQL Server—configure the Microsoft SQL Server database server.

PowerShell scripts prompt you for the following information:
- DBA and user credentials (unless you created an Oracle SDL Tridion administrator user)

PowerShell scripts prompt you to provide the following information which you will need to store in a safe place along with Database credentials as you will need it when you install and configure the Content Manager and Content Delivery:
- the name of the database
- the name of the database user
