Re: Oracle Administration

Novice,
Hi. I am assuming you are on NT. Do this at the command prompt. Go to the start menu -> run->cmd
At the command prompt type in svrmgr23 if you have 7.3 svrmgr30 if you have oracle 8 and svrmgr81 if you have 8i. You should see a svrmgr> prompt
Issue a command startup.
svrmgr>startup
Try to connect to your database through sqlplus. If you get another error get back to me .

                                                        Guru.
