### Database Installation Location

The installation directory for the database files is located under the home directory of the user ID running the installation program. You can choose a different location provided that the user ID has the proper permissions and that the disk space requirements are met.

#### Choosing Your Database Size

You must select the size of your Oracle Server database from the three available choices:

- Small
- Medium
- Large

#### Guidelines for Determining Size

The next two tables provide data to help you determine the size of your Oracle database.

Metadata: Total number of parts and documents

Metadata | Size
up to 25,000 parts; 25,000 documents | Small
up to 100,000 parts; 100,000 documents | Medium
up to 1,000,000 parts; 1,000,000 documents | Large

Size | Blobs (MB) | External File vault (MB)
Small | 800 | 700
Medium | 1400 | 900
Large | 3600 | 1800
