At http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/database/enterprise-edition/downl...
click on the "See All" for your particular platform (e.g. Linux x86-64) for the inidividual components other than the Database Sofware.
File 1 and File 2 do comprise the Database "software".

runInstaller is the executable to start the Oracle Universal Installer.

If you've never installed Oracle (11g or 10g or 9i) before, maybe you should read the documentation first ?

Either : http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E16655_01/install.121/e17720/toc.htm

Besides, you seem to be confused between "software" and "database". When you *INSTALL* the software, you can then *CREATE* the database.

I remember now. create database is just a sql statement .

Actually few years back i would install oracle software.
Then when we got the storage i would create multiple databases on it using few scripts ( i just had a look in those ). My doubt is cleared . Thank you so much.
