# Create or Update the Oracle Schema

Schema is a set of rules that determine what data can be stored in a directory server. Oracle has its own schema that determines what Oracle entries can be in the directory, as well as the attributes that are associated with the entry. To use the directory for Oracle usage, the Oracle schema must be present. Net8 Configuration Assistant enables you to create the Oracle schema.

To create or update the Oracle schema:

1. Select Directory Service Access configuration in the Welcome page, and then choose Next.

   The Directory Service Access page appears.

2. Select Create or update Oracle schema objects, and then choose Next.

   The Directory Service Access, Directory Type page appears.

3. From the Directory Type list, select the correct directory type for the directory this computer will access.

| Note: The procedure varies at this point, depending on whether or not Net8 Configuration Assistant is able to authenticate with the directory server. Net8 Configuration Assistant screens and their accompanying help will guide you through the sequence.
