Re: How to startup oracle9i without using windows services

Hi,

Actually you can run it without the starting the service. If you can peek inside the service you'd see what command line it uses to start Oracle. The command is:

%ORACLE_%HOME%\bin\ORACLE.EXE <ORACLE_SID>

Wait for "Hit any key to exit server:"

If it finds corresponding registry key and you have autostart configured, then it'll bring your DB up. Otherwise, you'll need to do following from the other CMD window.

set ORACLE_SID=<ORACLE_SID>
sqlplus "/ as sysdba"
startup
exit
