title: Clone Oracle Express Edition 11g R2
body: <p>I have installed Oracle XE 11g R2 on my machine. I ran few scripts which does the setup by creating schemas, procedures for our application. Now I want to clone this database so that other people by using the cloned dbf file can see the base schema on their respective machine and work on their individual requirement on top of that.    </p>
  
  <p>Now it has 6 dbf files    </p>
  
  <pre><code>CONTROL.DBF    
  SYSAUX.DBF   
  SYSTEM.DBF   
  TEMP.DBF   
  UNDO.DBF   
  USER.DBF 
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Can i just give them the files or I need to create server parameter file (<code>SPFILE</code>) or Control file. What about the <code>REDO</code> logs.<br>
  I have very little knowledge in Database administration. Please suggest. I understand that it is not Enterprise Edition so all things might not supported but assuming cloning process is similar for XE.</p>
