Start with Oracle Express Edition?
Not to be confused: In Oracle terminology, a database instance (called XE) is automatically created during installation (limitation: only one database instance can run in Oracle Express).
What other vendors commonly refer to as a database (like on Sql Server) is Schema in Oracle. To create it, use the command CREATE USER
(not CREATE SCHEMA
: welcome to the amazing world of Oracle!) Using SQL * Plus or APEX.

I think it is possible to create a database schema through the web administration interface. Check out the Getting Started Guide from Oracle Database 10g Express Edition .
For file paths, this article might help: Create an Oracle Database (XE) manually on XP .

Oracle 10g XE comes with a built-in browser interface. You can access it withhttp://machine-name:port/xe
It almost looks like an Oracle Enterprise manager. You can also use Oracle Application Express and develop web applications.
