Oracle Database: 18c dbca Segmentation Fault

In this short blog I talk about Segmentation fault (core dumped) error when launching dbca.

[oracle@18cbox ~]$ dbca

Segmentation fault (core dumped)

whenever dbca was launched - in silent or on in UI mode - it will not start and give the error as above.

On some diligence it was found out that the problem was with the environment variable which was set as below - 

NLS_DATE_FORMAT="Mon  DD/MM/YYYY HH24:MI:SS"

On fixing the value of this environment variable dbca ran fine. 

NLS_DATE_FORMAT="DD/MM/YYYY HH24:MI:SS"

So if dbca is not working and you get segmentation fault, unset all unrequited environment variables and try again.

Hope it Helps :).
