Starting a Database Using Instance Manager
Starting a Database Using Server Manager
Shutting Down an Instance/Database
Databases can be started using Instance Manager (by selecting the
Services and Instance checkboxes in Startup After Creation), or from
ORADIM73 command line mode.
To start the database using Server Manager, follow these steps:
1. Start Server Manager by typing (at the command prompt):
C:\>SVRMGR73
2. Connect to the database using your username:
SVRMGR> CONNECT username [/password]
When you use Server Manager in line mode, if you do not include a
password in your CONNECT statement and a password has been
set, Server Manager prompts you to enter one.
When you use Server Manager in screen mode, if you do not include
a password in your CONNECT statement and a password has been
set, Server Manager displays an error message. To enter your
password without typing it on the command line, choose Connect
from the Session menu.
3. Start up the database by typing the following:
SVRMGR> STARTUP [PFILE=path\filename]
where path\filename specifies an initialization parameter file other
than the default, INITsid.ORA. This example starts the database
using a file named INIT2.ORA:
SVRMGR> STARTUP PFILE=C:\ORANT\RDBMS73\INIT2.ORA
After completing these steps, you can make local connections to Oracle7
Server.
In Release 7.3, you can startup and shutdown a database using Server
Manager, Database Manager, or ORADIM73 command line mode.
Instance Manager does not provide that functionality, except while
creating/deleting an instance.
