Hi

Write a small shell script that logs into the database and then gets the startupitme from v$instance.I dont think so its possible other wise.

shell script it can be done
#!/bin/sh

/u01/app/oracle/product/8.1.7/bin/sqlplus system/powell1012 <> /dev/null
spool start.txt
set heading off;
set echo off;
select startup_time from v\$instance;
spool off

-- requirement is to find out at command prompt.
-- No shell

Hi

I do not think so you can do it at the command prompt.what you ned to do is put the shell script in the /usr/bin directory and name it something like orauptime.And from the command prompt you can laways say something like orauptime to get the uptime.

I have seen requirements of seeing OS details from database client(Sql).
But this is different and reverse of it.
You need database details from OS.

If you are in the server, you will have access to your required things.

Ok. Can you share me you db details, which is needed for my reference(Since you have on itanium and linux --similar to us) .
We are having one setup of itanium, red hat 2.1 as, and RAC with OCFS
and 9.2.0.5.
We are thinking of moving to 10g. If you can able to share the
compatibilities and isses, it will help us.
Pls give if there is any link availble on the methods on proceeding towards the above setup.

Thanks
