I am installing the Express Edition of Oracle's database. I am doing this to test another software's connection process. The database will be very simple with only a couple of columns. Everything will be local to the machine I am working on. I do not wish my database to connect to the company's network. I am using the Oracle Database 18c Installer. Does the Global database name require a domain name? For example, is "oraign.global.localhost" a valid name?

I have similar requirements - I have a *lot* of databases installed on my laptop :-)

I usually go with 

global_names = false
db_domain = (null)


and you should be fine.
