Dwayne,

You are not being over-controlling if you want to be called to come in every time the server burps. That is the only issue.

Personally, I do not want to be called. Let Oracle come up by itself and only call me if it fails to start.

Tom

Subject: To autostart database or not?

We are running a few Oracle9i and 10g databases on RHEL and I have always opted NOT to have the databases automatically restart when the server goes down due to something unexpected. My thinking was that if the server crashed, then I want to be there to bring up the databases to

assess and repair any damage (yes, I am the only production DBA).

Am I being overly controlling? Looking for other opinions and thoughts on the matter.

Thanks
