    Oracle crash alert to pager/mobile of DBA

    Our database is 24*7. Some body told me that if a Oracle database crashes at night(or any time), it can be configured to give an alert to pager/mobile of it's DBA. Is it possible. If it is possible, can anybody give the procedure to configure Oracle database to give an alert, when it crashes.

    no the database cant, the tools which monitor the database are the things that do this - typically by sending out smtp alerts

    the database is the first to be configured to enable Email Notification(SMTP-outgoing mail server-i.e.mailam.yourcomp.com, dba's e-mail-i.e. yourname@am.yourcomp.com).
    If the db wasn't configured to do this during creation of the db, I think you can use emca, and include like this:
    ../bin/emca -config dbcontrol .... -EMAIL_ADDRESS yourname@am.yourcomp.com -MAIL_SERVER_NAME mailam.yourcomp.com

    then verify it with your e-mail administrator if email forwarding to mobile is configured. (must have a mobile phone carrier-telco).

    I think it is also available with yahoo.com.
