Crazy Oracle.
I am trying to do the following:
ALTER DATABASE CHARACTER SET WE8ISO8859P1
*
ORA-01679: database must be mounted EXCLUSIVE and not open to activate


HOW do I do this?
The command I have been TRYING to use is:
"startup EXCLUSIVE mount"
I've also tried:
startup EXCLUSIVE
startup mount
startup mount EXCLUSIVE
startup nomount ...

Arrrrgh!
