How to start a Database

I am really new in Oracle and i dont know how to start the database (i only know that the Oracle is installed...) Please Help !

From the DOS prompt, perform the following:
svrmgrl
==once you get svrmgrl> prompt then type
connect internal
startup
== once you get database started message
exit
now your database is up and running.
if you have any basic question and need good examples as well as good explanation, then, search at, http://asktom.oracle.com site.

HOW TO START MAKING DATABASE USING ORACLE SQL PLUS in 10g?

how will i create database using sql plus?
does the code of sql applicable to it..?
do i have to use the "create db <database name>", use and " create table also,.."
pls help me..
thanks

At dos prompt :
C:\>set ORACLE_SID=<your SID>
C:\>sqlplus / as sysdba
you get connected as sys user. Don't use this connection to create your own objects, create users instead.... but it would be useful to read some documentation, for example Starting SQL*Plus and manuals mentioned there.

How to start the database manually?

Hi,
Recently I installed Oracle10g database in my laptop. I want to change the services from autostartup to manual. So that I can start the database whenver I want.
After very first installation, I tried to do this exercise. Later I was not able to restart my database.
Can anybody give me correct steps to do this exercise?
Thanks,
Viswa

I'm surprised no-one has responded to this. Anyway, below are a bunch of shortcuts I use to start and stop my Oracle 10g. Note, I have to start the Listener AND Database for things to work. Note: you will have to check Control Panel - Services to find the Oracle.... and OracleService.... names as your's will be different.
Start Listener:
%windir%\System32\net.exe start OracleOraDb10g_home1TNSListener
Start Database:
%windir%\System32\net.exe start OracleServiceORADB10G
Stop Listener:
%windir%\System32\net.exe stop OracleOraDb10g_home1TNSListener
Stop Database:
%windir%\System32\net.exe stop OracleServiceORADB10G
Hope this helps :)

Oracle Upgrade interrupted inbetween, How to start the database?

Hi All,
Oracle upgrade is interrupted in between during the migration.
could you please provide me with the detail steps to start the database again with the 9i.
Thanks,
Anu.

Where is "in the middle"? Using dbua? During filesystem copy? Without specifying where it broke the only thing one can suggest is to restore everything from before the upgrade (Oracle binaries and database).

How to start Oracle database in solaris Machine

I installed Oracle database in my solaris machine. Everything went fine .. I was able to install it and test the database if it's working or not.
Something happened that made me shut down and restart the solaris machine, the problem is that Oracle is not running, so I have to start it manually, and I'm not sure how to do that ... Is there a way to start Oracle automatically once the solaris machine is started ...
I'm using the SSH Secure Shell Client to configure and install everything into the solaris machine ..

Here is the work around for starting oracle instance automatically.
1) logon the system as root user.
2) under /etc/init.d/ directory, create a file name oraclestart(name the file to what you feel comfortable). eg: /etc/init.d/oraclestart.
with the following content:
#!/bin/sh
# Created by Henry Nguyen
# Date 10/11/2005
# Script to automatic start and stop oracle instances on server
ORACLE_HOME=/export/home/oracle/product/9.2.0.1.0 (diffrent on your system)
if [ ! -f $ORACLE_HOME/bin/dbstart || ! -f $ORACLE_HOME/bin/dbshut ]; then
echo missing oracle start/stop script
exit 1
fi
case "$1" in
'start')
su - oracle -c '$ORACLE_HOME/bin/dbstart'
su - oracle -c '$ORACLE_HOME/bin/lsnrctl start'
'stop')
su - oracle -c '$ORACLE_HOME/bin/lsnrctl stop'
su - oracle -c '$ORACLE_HOME/bin/dbshut'
esac
3) create 2 soft link as following:
ln -s /etc/init.d/oraclestart /etc/rc2.d/S99oraclestart
ln -s /etc/init.d/oraclestart /etc/rc0.d/K10oraclestart
Note the S99 and K10: that are Solaris priorities to when start and stop an oracle instance and those letter must be capitalized.
Hope this will help you

How to start oracle database server and client in windows 8

Hi at all
I'm a new entry in this forum and I'm a beginner with database oracle.

With SQL Server management studio I could to launch the client application, then was establishing a connection to the server and all was working fine!
Now, how to work with oracle database?
I installed oracle server and client version 11g R2 on windows 8, but how can I start the server database? .. and how can I start the client application for querying?
regards in advance.
P.S.: Sorry for my english.

SomeoneElse

In particular I have precisely this oracle service on my operating system after installation.
- ) OracleVssWriterSYSDBA

- ) OracleJobSchedulerSYSDBA
- ) OracleMTSRecoveryService
- ) OracleOraDb11g_home1ClrAgent

How to start a database by copying the files(tablespace, redo, ctl files)

Hi,
I have two databases called Q1 and Q2. I am planning to copy from a cold backup files from Q1 to Q2 database.
could anybody will provide the steps involved in how to copy from one database to another and how to rename the target database after copying and renaming the files in the target database to up and run?
Please help.
Thank you.

For Oracle version from 9i the steps are :
Perform Cold Backup of the Production database
1. Note down the datafile, controlfile and redologfile locations on proddb
2. Shutdown the production database Ensure clean shutdown.
3. Copy the database files (datafiles, logfiles, controlfiles and parameter file) into the clone destination.
4. Modify the parameter CONTROL_FILES in the pfile for clonedb to reflect
the new path of the control files.
1. Mount the database and rename the datafiles and redolog files.
export ORACLE_SID=clonedb
DB02> sqlplus / as sysdba
DB02> startup mount
DB02> alter database rename file '/u01/<path_to_proddb_files>/<filename>' to '/u01/<path_to_clonedb_files>/<filename>'
2. Rename the database with the dbnewid (nid) utility
3. Edit the pfile and update the new database name
Modify parameter DB_NAME to reflect the new database name.
also ensure you make necessary changes to the environment for ORACLE_SID, ORACLE_HOME
as needed.
4. Open the clone database.

How to start Pointbase database server

I browse the tools provided by J2EE but didn't found such element? How to do that?
Thanks

PointBase database has been replaced with Derby database in 8.2 release of the Application Server (and in corresponding J2EE SDK bundle). So, while the functionality is essentially the same, you might need to note this if the documentation you are trying to follow references PointBase.

How to startup the database

Hi,
i have installed oracle database 11gr1 in oel5(32 bit).How to start the database?
Solution needed

Dear user8818950 Muvendran!
Have you created a database yet? If yes then you could do the following steps to start it:
1.) Execute the oraenv script. It should be located in the /usr/local/bin directory
. oranev
ORACLE_SID = [ORCL] ? Please fill in your Oracle SID after the questionmark.
2.) Start your listener
lsnrctl start3.) Start SQL*Plus and connect as sysdba
sqlplus sys/password as sysdba4.) Type in startup to start your database
startupAfter that everything should be fine.
Yours sincerely
Florian W.
Edited by: Florian W. on 05.11.2009 13:54
P.S. If you don't know the name of your database (ORACLE_SID) than you may look into the file /etc/oratab. E. g,
ORCL:/u01/app/oracle/product/10.2.0:NThe first column shows your ORACLE_SID. If you want to start your database everytime your sever starts than you may change the N in the last column to Y.
Best Regards

How to start a particular database in unix/linux

Hi,
Could any one tell me how to start a particular database in Unix/Linux assuming that my server consists of 10 databases.
Can we use LSNRCTL tool for this??
Regards,
Nagarjun.

> Could any one tell me how to start a particular database in Unix/Linux
assuming that my server consists of 10 databases.
There is something very wrong in basic understanding of Oracle RDBMS architecture, when running 10 Oracle instances on a single server.
10x temp space. 10x redo space. 10x SGA. 10x system processes footprint. This is NOT how one scales Oracle and NOT how one uses Oracle optimally.
