    startup database

    Hi,

    I m using Oralce 8.1.6 on win 2000 with default database (DB_name = orcl and SID=orcl)
    I'hv created new database((DB_name = test and SID=test) but whenever
    i restart my server i hv to start database(startup pfile=...) and then
    only it is available for use.

    What i want is to start the database automatically when system start.


    Any expert can help.


    Thanks !!

    Ensure that the Service is set for AUTOMATIC in the Services panel
    Service is "OracleServiceXXXX" xxxx is the instance name.

    As mentioned, in the registry
    hkey_local_machine\software\oracle\home0\ ORA_XXXX_AUTOSTART TRUE

    Ensure that the entry for ORA_XXXX_PFILE is the correct initialization
    file to startup the database (and is in the correct location).

    When u create a Database manually in Window NT u need to create init.ora file under $ORACLE_HOME/database which should have only one entry like
    IFILE='d:\oracle\admin\mydb\pfile\initmydb.ora'

    Just like a softlink in unix. Pls check this out if u don't have create one , hope this would resolve urs problem.
