    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!

    If you are trying to change the character set, do the following:
    % svrmgrl
    SVRMGR> connect internal
    SVRMGR> shutdown immediate
    SVRMGR> startup mount
    SVRMGR> alter system enable restricted session;
    SVRMGR> alter system set job_queue_processes=0;
    SVRMGR> alter system set aq_tm_processes=0;
    SVRMGR> alter database open;
    SVRMGR> alter database character set WE8ISO8859P1;
    SVRMGR> alter database national character set WE8ISO8859P1;
    SVRMGR> shutdown immediate;
    SVRMGR> startup restrict;
    SVRMGR> shutdown immediate;
    SVRMGR> startup
    SVRMGR> shutdown immediate;
    SVRMGR> startup

    This procedure is outlined in http://metalink.oracle.com/metalink/...T&p_id=66320.1 and explains why the database has to be shutdown/startup so many times.
