RE: Unix level to start Oracle

This is not an obligation, you can start Oracle whenever you want. You can even choose to not start it during the boot process.

Usually level 2 is multi-user level with all services started and level 3 adds NFS shared resources.
So, one can want to have Oracle running, and stay at level 2.
