Re: (newbie) Problems with Oracle 10g on Solaris 10 i86pc

Your problem can be traced to 'installing before reading documentation'

PLEASE read the DBA guide at http://docs.oracle.com and specifically lookup the STARTUP command in SQLPLUS.

One variant that will work for a while is

sqlplus /NOLOG
connect / as sysdba
startup
exit

Note that the above probably requires you to have started you listener using

lsnrctl start

by default.

After a while, (in part because you do not have enough background to protect yourself and the database/instance from your mistakes, such as an abrupt shutdown) you may need to do an optional restore and a recovery, and the above commands and parameters may need to change.

As another variant, check out the "emctl start dbconsole" in the docco. Received on Wed Dec 15 2004 - 09:43:43 CST
