Starting up database instance | Oracle DBA Tutorial pdf

Starting up database instance

SQL> STARTUP NOMOUNT
This state is used for creating new database or creating new control file. At this state, Oracle allocates SGA and starts background processes.
SQL> STARTUP MOUNT
This state is used for performing specific maintenance operations like renaming data files, enabling/disabling archive log mode, adding/dropping/renaming redo log files, recovering database etc. Control file is read at this stage but the data files are not open.
SQL> STARTUP OPEN or simply SQL>STARTUP
Database is available for normal operations.
NB: Oracle 11g requires at least 1 GB of RAM and 5 GB disk space to install.
For an operational production database, more RAM and disk space are required.
