Oracle is not like SQL Server. You don't get to create multiple databases (though things have changed since version 12, but it doesn't apply here anyways). With Oracle 11g XE, you only get one database instance called XE.

Instead, what you'll want to do is to create yourself a user within that XE database instance, which in effect results in an associated schema that you can use to create objects (tables, views, etc.) You can create more users (schemas) as needed.
