# Step 3: Verify Oracle initialization

After you run the scripts, perform the following steps to verify that databases and user roles have been created:

1. Open the Terminal or Command Prompt window that is running SQL\*Plus.
2. Make sure that users have been created by running: `SELECT USERNAME FROM DBA_USERS`
3. If your databases do not appear, go to the beginning of these instructions and try running the scripts again.
4. Exit from SQL\*Plus.
