    Default database?

    Hi All
    I create second database in the same machine (linux redhat 7.3 and oracle8i) but I cannot start all of the database (2 database) in the same time.
    1. How can I do that? Please suggestion.
    2. What is the default database? (If I try to connect by not specify host string)

    Thank you so much

    Hi

    Suppose you have tow databases d1 and d2..then in order to connect to the d1 database do

    export ORACLE_HOME=your_oracle_home
    export ORACLE_SID=d1

    now when you say sqlplus you would be connected to d1 database

    If you wanna connect to d2

    export ORACLE_HOME=your_oracle_home
    export ORACLE_SID=d2

    now when you say sqlplus you would be connected to d2 database

    regards

    As Hrishy said you need to set the ORACLE_HOME and ORACLE_SID environment variables before you attempt to start the second database.

    Code:
    $export ORACLE_SID=d2
    $export ORACLE_HOME=you_oracle_home
    
    $sqlplus /nolog
    SQL>connect / as sysdba
    Connected
    SQL>startup

    Default database

    Hi,

    Thsi problem can be sorted out by creating env files. An env file can look like this:

    ORACLE_SID=
    ORACLE_HOME=
    export ORACLE_SID ORACLE_HOME

    This file should have executable permission.
    You can have n number of files like this corresponding to your DBs.
    Any one of these files you can attach in your .profile/.bash_profile as
    ". "

    Further u, can have a shell script, which calls all these env files one-by-one and then startup each DB. A sample shell script can look like this:
    file: startalldb.sh
    .
    svrmgrl < connect internal
    startup
    exit
    EOF
    .
    svrmgrl < connect internal
    startup
    exit
    EOF

    Again you should have exe permission for this file.
    This file can be called on login or after login from one of your shells.
    Further you can have check whether a specific db is up or not with the comand string:
    dbcnt=`ps -fe | grep pmon | grep | grep -cv grep`
    if [ $dbcnt -eq 1 ]; then
    echo "DB already up"
    exit 0
    fi


    Hope this will serve you.

    Regards,

    Eldo.

    Or you can set the environment using the ORAENV script. (I'm assuming that it's availaible in Linux)
