Chapter 37. Starting and Shutting down the Oracle9i Database
This chapter shows two separate ways to start and shut down an Oracle9i Database; Using SQLplus and using the
ORACLE_HOME binaries.
37.1. sqlplus
Note
In Oracle9i
svrmgrl is no longer supported, however, you can now do everything with sqlplus so nothing is lost.
To start up the database, run the following commands:
oracle$ sqlplus /nolog SQL> connect / as sysdba SQL> startup
The slash connects you to the schema owned by SYS. So in this example you will be connected to the schema owned by SYS with the privilege
SYSDBA. SYSDBA gives you the following privileges:
sysoperprivileges WITH ADMIN OPTION- create databases
- recover one or more databases to a point
