Question about starting Oracle 9i manually!!!!

Hi friends,
I am a student and a newbie in Installing Oracle 9i Database.
At the installation I choose the Oracle Enterprise Edition and choose also that the Installation wizard
automatically create a DB.
My problem is, that Oracle starts up every time I boot up my machine.
Now my question is: How can I configure Oracle that it don't start every time I boot up the machine??
I would like to start up Oracle only if I want it so!!
So how can I do this???
I hope that somebody of you guys can help me!!
thanxx
Schobbi

1) Go to Start ` Settings `Control panel `
(admin tools if you use win2k)` Services
2)find out the serive like OracleServiceYOURDBNAME
double click that service and choose startup type to manual
this will make your database to stop starting automatically.
3)when you want to start manually
go to command prompt type
set oracle_sid=yourdatabasename
sqlplus /nolog
connect / as sysdba
startup pfile=path of your databse par file.
(startup pfile=\oracle\admin\ora\pfile\init.ora or just type startup ).

  • Question about an Oracle SID

    I'm a bit confused about what a SID is. I understand that it represents a Database instance. However, as I create my database for the first time, I'm asking myself if I really understand what a SID is?
    My impression of a SID is a database instance that can contain/manage serveral databases. Is that correct?
    However, I wonder if I'm being miss lead by my thinking. During the database creation process it appears that there is a one-to-one relationship between a database and a SID. Meaning that a SID and database are a unique pair and that a one-to-one relationship exist only.
    That being the case when it comes the environment variable for "Oracle_SID" does it support having multiple SID's. What is the maximum number of SID that it can support? When connecting to a database in Oracle do I have to supply both the SID and global database name to make a connection? I plan to connect to my databases using both Java and C++.
    Thanks

    Thanks for you help. However, My question is about
    the "Oracle_SID" environment variable. I fully
    understand that a SID helps identify resources to
    manage a database. However, a server/machine can
    have any number of database residing on the
    server/machine.
    The installation instructions talk about the
    environment variables for a machine with the
    "Oracle_SID being one of those variables. Based on
    what you are telling me a server/machine can have
    only 1/one database residing on it based on the fact
    that the "Oracle_SID" environment variable can only
    accomodate one/1 SID. NO. That is NOT what I said. I said - One SID will equate to One database instance.
    You can have any number of SIDs.
    BUT you set the SID as an environment variable to tell the software which instance to you wish to connect. ORACLE_SID can only be set to one value. That represents the database instance to which you are about to connect. A tool such as SQLPlus supports only one connection to one instance at a time.
    >
    Is the "Oracle_SID" environment variable important
    when it comes to connecting to a database remotely?Not really. The key is the SERVICE_NAME which is used to tell the LISTENER which SERVICE you want to use.
    By default, there is one service that has the same name as the instance's SID.
    There is a connection description file, called TNSNAMES.ORA. That file is used the same as /etc/hosts in *nix - pass in an alias and get a connection description - IP in the case of HOSTS; machine, listener port and 'instance information' in the case of TNSNAMES.ORA
    The typical connection to an instance is something like
    sqlplus hans/test@ORCL
    The ORCL is the alias to look up in the TNSNAMES.ORA (or other lookup technique - equivalent to DNS). The client looks up the 3 pieces of information, sends a request to the listener which is (hopefully) listening on the specified port on the indicated machine. It then uses the 'instance information' to ask the database instance for a thread or process.
    Oracle8 and older used ORACLE_SID as the 'instance information'
    Oracle8i and newer uses SERVICE_NAME as the 'instance information'.
    Some Newbie DBAs equate SERVICE_NAME to ORACLE_SID, because one of the services has the same name as the SID. However, one can have up to 64 SERVICES managed by a single instance.
    Some Experienced DBAs equate SERVICE_NAME to ORACLE_SID, because they have not spent time in the documentation to understand the difference between SERVICE_NAME and SID. As a result, they generally do not 'get it' when it comes to resource management or instance consolidation.
    >
    If I'm managing a database at the server and the
    server has multiple database residing on it, how do I
    define a SID for each database using the "Oracle_SID"
    environment variable?If on LINUX, using bash, you simply
    export ORACLE_SID=abc
    or use the oraenv script to set the SID and all the other environment variables based on the SID.I give a description and example below.
    >
    I'm just not clear about the relationship between the
    "Oracle_SID" environment variable and access a
    database when logged onto the database
    server/machine.Say I have 2 databases, called 'ORCL' and 'TEST', each with a user (and schema) called 'hans'. Both are down. I want them both up. Therefore I want to start 2 instances.The pattern, on Linux (it's subtly different on Windows) is
    # set the environment to start ORCL
    . oraenv
    ORCL
    # or
    export ORACLE_SID=ORCL
    export ORACLE_HOME=some-directory-path-to-the-ORCL-database's-software
    export PATH=$PATH:$ORACLE_HOME/bin
    # use the tools to start the database
    sqlplus / as sysdba   # note that I did not specify SID ... that was given above
    startup
    exit
    # at this point ORCL database, and all the schemas in the ORCL database, are available
    # from anywhere in the network, or on the local machine, I can:
    sqlplus hans/password@ORCL
    select * from dual;
    exit
    # but TEST is not up and
    sqlplus hans/password@TEST
    #  will fail with a 'database not available' type of message
    # now set up to start test.  Use oraenv OR do it manually
    export ORACLE_SID=TEST
    export ORACLE_HOME=the-path-to-the-TEST-database's-software-which-could-be-the-same
    export PATH=$PATH:$ORACLE_HOME/bin
    # and use the tools to start the database
    sqlplus / as sysdba 
    startup
    exit
    # note that I did not specify SID ... that was given above and tells SQLPLUS to establish a connect to the
    # instance called TEST.  SQLPlus has special powers in the "as sysdba" mode - it can execute the
    # startup process.
    # NOW the TEST and the ORCL databases are available through the TEST and ORCL instances
    sqlplus hans/password@TEST
    select * from dual;
    connect hans/password@ORCL
    select * from dual;
    exit>
    I understand that when using the Enterprise Manager I
    have to specify the SID and database name but, does
    the environment variable "Oracle_SID" have to reflect
    a SID for each database that is present on the
    server/machine.
    The SID tells the system
    1) which shared memory segment to use - if we are on the server
    2) which instance to connect to over the network, because the SID is the same as the default SERVICE
    In Enterprise Manager Database Control, the entry point for the configuration files is a special directory under the ORACLE_HOME that consists of the machine name and the SID. The purpose of setting the ORACLE_SID in this case is to tell the database control which directory to use to find the EM configuration files for that database and instance.
    No matter which way you slice it:
    1) an Oracle SID is used to point to the configuration information for one database and it's related instance;
    2) an Oracle SID is really only meaningful on the machine where the instance is to run;
    3) an Oracle SID environment variable can only contain the value for one SID if it is to be intepreted by Oracle programs;
    4) an Oracle SID plays no significant part in establishing the connection for an appication;
    5) an Oracle SID MAY be used as input to environment-setting programs that make it easier to get the right environment for an application;
    6) an Oracle SID is NO LONGER the correct way to set up the TNSNAMES.ORA file to establish a connection.

  • Question about starting rmiregistry

    Folks,
    After having used rmi in its basic form for many years, but always doing it the same way, i still have a question:
    everytime i have created an rmi object, i have had to set the classpath with my classes added in the classpath before starting the rmiregistry.
    if not, i get a ClassNotFoundException on my stub class.
    Is this the way it's supposed to be done (set classpath before starting rmiregistry) or is there a better way?
    Thanks,
    Nilesh

    Your new question is unanswerable without a survey.In the few RMI projects that I was involved in, we used the second solution - using a clean rmiregistry process and using codebase for applications. Based on customer feedback of the RMI Plug-in I think there is a slight bias towards using a clean separate registry, but maybe it's because the RMI Plug-in encourages such usage.
    IMHO Using a clean registry classpath and using codebase has several advantages:
    - You can share a single RMI registry between several projects (e.g., have it started when the machine boots) and stop caring about the startup classpath.
    - It is better for projects that involve more than one server VM (VM crash resilience. The server VM can crash, but it is unlikely that a rmiregistry vm will crash)
    - Sometimes it can help you to detect problems early - if there is a problem with a codebase, it's better to find it when the object is being registered than when a client first tries to use it.
    Disadvantages of using a separate registry process:
    - stale class file definitions. During development you will probably have to restart the registry quite often to reload the updated class definitions.
    - no API to stop it. you can only forcefully kill it.
    Probably there is more...

  • Question about start up

    My HP was stuck on the blue screen when i started it. I put in the windows 7 disk and now it works. was it a virus that caused it to be frozen on the blue screen?

    Hi there @xelizabethemmax 
    Welcome to the HP Support Forums! It is a great place to find the help you need, both from other users, HP experts and other support personnel.
    I understand that you had a blue screen and that it sounds like it may have been a one time thing. I am happy to help you , however, with the information you provided there is no way of knowing the exact cause.
    Sometimes a Blue Screen is caused by a memory error or if you prefer a glitch, a data misread, corrupted software, malicious software, heat issues, and many other potential causes. If it only occurs as a one time error, then it is probably just a random glitch or error. This sort of thing occasionally happens, with the combination of the various pieces of hardware and the drivers that make then work, sometimes a conflict can occur, and you can get a blue screen. As long as it is not regularly recurring thing, then it is probably nothing to worry about. If, on the other hand, you see this happen, several times in a row, or even several times in a week, then some investigation should be made.
    If you do see that, sort of repeating issue, then try to gather as much information as you can. A screen shot would also be good.
    I hope this helps.

  • Question about start-up screen oddities

    Hey guys,
    Quick question: my iMac G5, when starting up in Leopard, doesn't just pop-up the gray loading screen like my macbook- it "rolls" down the screen twice (like a push transition) before appearing. It's quite odd. I don't notice too many other video-related glitches (other than sluggishness and/or occasional lag with dashboard, minimizing apps, screensavers etc.
    Is this a problem worth pursuing?
    Thanks!

    Probably not, although if you have the Ambient light model, there's a Repair extension program which covers video problems you might want to look into.

  • Canon 6D Question about focus confirmation for manual focus lenses

    I am very interested in the 6D. I own the 5D2 and concerning IQ there won't be much difference. But the loud and shaky shutter of the 5D2, the silent mode of the 6D respectively, lower weight, better ISO and smaller size would make the 6D a better camera. If I could have wished I wanted an even more purist and smaller 6D, no video, wifi and gps, however. 
    But I have a QUESTION: Will there be a focus confirmation on the focus points like the red confirmation flash there is with the 5D2? I like to shoot eg. with my small 40mm Voigtlander Ultron manual focus lens (just an excellent lens btw) and therefore highly appreciate this focus confirmation feature. If somebody already knows the answer, this would be very nice, thanks!
    I got the impression Canon disadvantages manual focus lenses on their bodies, especially with the 5D3's new autofocus system (which is superb for autofocus lenses). Therefore I wish Canon would offer a reduced to the max fullframe body for manual focus shooters (what is a real passion for a growing number of photographers). Manual focus shooters need interchangeable focusing screens, focus confirmation on the focus point and live view. I guess Canon could be successfull with such a camera: the Canon IQ, especially the colors are excellent, the handling of a Canon is better than other brands, the overall package one gets with Canon is very good. There are so many outstandig MF lenses from Zeiss over Voigtlander to vintage lenses with adapters that are seeking the best FF body. And DSLR's are better than mirrorless cams but need to become smaller to make the size advantage of mirrorless cams irrelevant. 
    Thanks for reading, Dave. 

    The Canon 6D arrived today in Switzerland. The focus confirmation shows on the focus point and works well with Zeiss glass. We get the same focus finetuning like we had in the 5D2, what is important to align our Zeiss lenses.  Besides, this is a nicely thought out camera. Smaller than one would expect from the factsheet numbers. The silent shutter mode is great. And there was a Hasselblad / Canon 6D comparison (beautyshooting), where I could not see a difference between the two on one of these big EIZO screens. The 6D is a reasonable camera, no show off factor. Better consider the 6D instead of the 5D3 if you are not a pro. 

  • Question about how Oracle manages Redo Log Files

    Good morning,
    Assuming a configuration that consists of 2 redo log groups (Group A and B), each group consisting of 2 disks (Disks A1 & A2 for Group A and Disks B1 and B2 for group B). Further, let's assume that each redo log file resides by itself in a disk storage device and that the device is dedicated to it. Therefore in the above scenario, there are 4 disks, one for each redo log file and, each disk contains nothing else other than a redo log file. Furthermore, let's assume that the database is in ARCHIVELOG mode and that the archive files are stored on yet another different set of devices.
    sort of graphically:
        GROUP A             GROUP B
          A1                  B1
          A2                  B2The question is: When the disks that comprise Group A are filled and Oracle switches to the disks in Group B, can the disks in Group A be taken offline, maybe even physically removed from the system if necessary, without affecting the proper operation of the database ? Can the Archiver process be temporarily delayed until the disks (that were removed) are brought back online or is the DBA forced to wait until the Archiver process has finished creating a copy of the redo log file into the archive ?
    Thank you for your help,
    John.

    Hello,
    Dropping Log Groups
    To drop an online redo log group, you must have the ALTER DATABASE system privilege. Before dropping an online redo log group, consider the following restrictions and precautions:
    * An instance requires at least two groups of online redo log files, regardless of the number of members in the groups. (A group is one or more members.)
    * You can drop an online redo log group only if it is inactive. If you need to drop the current group, first force a log switch to occur.
    * Make sure an online redo log group is archived (if archiving is enabled) before dropping it. To see whether this has happened, use the V$LOG view.
    SELECT GROUP#, ARCHIVED, STATUS FROM V$LOG;
    GROUP# ARC STATUS
    1 YES ACTIVE
    2 NO CURRENT
    3 YES INACTIVE
    4 YES INACTIVE
    Drop an online redo log group with the SQL statement ALTER DATABASE with the DROP LOGFILE clause.
    The following statement drops redo log group number 3:
    ALTER DATABASE DROP LOGFILE GROUP 3;
    When an online redo log group is dropped from the database, and you are not using the Oracle Managed Files feature, the operating system files are not deleted from disk. Rather, the control files of the associated database are updated to drop the members of the group from the database structure. After dropping an online redo log group, make sure that the drop completed successfully, and then use the appropriate operating system command to delete the dropped online redo log files.
    When using Oracle-managed files, the cleanup of operating systems files is done automatically for you.
    Your Database wont be affected as you can operate with 2 redo log files in each group as The minimum number of redo log files required in a database is two because the LGWR (log writer) process writes to the redo log files in a circular manner. so the process will hang becuase you are having 2 only groups if you want to remove 1 add a third one and make it the current group then remove the one you want to be offline.

  • Some questions about accessing Oracle from another machine with OEM

    I followed this great tutorial on how to get oracle8i installed and working on rh6.2. http://jordan.fortwayne.com/oracle/
    Great job to the writer)))
    Know I need a little more info on where to go after it is up and running...
    I downloaded the client for NT and I would like to access the Linux box using OEM from a Win2000 laptop however I really have no clue what I am doing and how to make this happen can someone please point me to a tutorial simular to the install tutorial I found?
    Thanks
    [email protected]

    You need to install OEM on your Windows box. From there go to your OEM configuration assistant in the start menu. Run it and point it to one of your instances on your DB server. You must provide a user name and password for the DB it will then connect and build a repository for OEM. After that run the OEM console application and connect to OEM using sysman for your login and oem_temp as your password. This should get you going.

  • Question about Start-Up disk?

    On my MacBook Air when I try to download some photographs on it a window appears saying my start-up disk is almost full and I need to delete some files. Does anyone know where I can go/look to find my start-up disk in order to delete some of these files?

    Your startup drive is the Macintosh hard drive - and in particular you'll need to look in your own account drive space (your Documents, Downloads, Pictures etc folders) and/or Applications folder.
    A temporary fix is to restart your computer, this should set the temporary files back to zero and buy you a little time. You may want to download a program that shows you what files you have and where they are located. Omni Disksweeper is free and pretty good, I like DaisyDisk which happens to be on sale at the Mac App Store right now.
    If you have lots of media files (video, music, and digital photos) they are the files that take up the most space. You'll probably want to purchase an external drive if you don't own one to transfer your files to. And don't forget to empty the trash once you've put things into the trash can. Putting files into the trash doesn't automatically delete them.

    It looks like you are trying to install 8.2.2.2, but it can only be applied on top of 8.2.2.0.
    I'm not sure why 8.2.2.0 is not available for Win32, but it is available for Win64.

  • Questions about an Oracle Feature

    There are JDBC extensions that allow to use a prepared statement and send in queries with different values for these statements in a batch. So, if you want to send in 10 updates at a time, it will wait until there are 10 available until the execution occurs. Does anyone know if there is a timeout, or something, that will allow the statements to execute if there are not 10 in a certain time. So, these statement would execute either once 10 are ready -or- every 5 minutes. Is there anything like this???

    There is no timeout, but you can explicitly send a batch with the sendBatch() method, rather than fill the rows until the maximum is reached.
    JDBC 2.0 uses a similar, though slightly different mechanism. In this case, all of the batching happens explicitly - there are no implicit limits when a batch is automatically submitted. Oracle JDBC drivers have supported this standard batching API since 8.1.6.
    SQLJ also supports batching since version 8.1.6. You can set a maximum batch limit, as in Oracle JDBC. The batch is automatically submitted when execution moves to a different statement, or when you execute a COMMIT/ROLLBACK.

    I experimented with the latest Zend Studio 8 trials on both platforms yesterday, and it looks a little different depending on which platform you're using:
    On OS X, because Zend Studio is now contained entirely within the app bundle, it's tricky navigating to the proper eclipse folder with our Plug-in Utility. As it turns out, the Zend dropins folder does exist if you look down low enough:
    /Applications/Zend Studio.app/Contents/Resources/Java/dropins
    When I typed that path into the Burrito Plug-in Utility manually, it found the dropins folder, and proceeded to install the link without complaint. However, the Zend dropins folder is not working properly on OS X either, as already found on Win, so it's not using the link.
    On Win, Zend Studio 8 doesn't include the dropins folder in the first place, as noted earlier. Apparently, Zend doesn't have its dropins folder enabled on either Mac or Win.
    To see if this problem is specific to dropin links, I downloaded the latest Orbit plugins from eclipse.org and tried adding those directly to the Zend dropins folder, instead of using a link. Zend doesn’t appear to recognize them either.
    I'll check with our contact at Zend to see what happened.

  • Question about starting PhotoShop CS5

    I have Photoshop CS5 in Windows 7. Sometimes when I start up the program it hangs up on "Reading Preferences" for many minutes, and sometimes it stays hung up there for too long and I have to reboot my system sometimes 2-3 times before the program begins to start up again. One time it was so persistent I had to uninstall and reinstall the program so it would start properly.  Any thoughts on how to fix this? It's a real time killer.

    I almost feel that Adobe should hand out "gold stars," or similar, to everyone who CAN hit the keys quickly enough...
    Good luck, and glad that it's working for you.
