Dwayne,

That is what we do in our shop for the same reason you expressed. We have had server crashes an occasion and we don't want the databases automatically restarting until the System Administrators give the OK that all is well.

Subject: To autostart database or not?

We are running a few Oracle9i and 10g databases on RHEL and I have always opted NOT to have the databases automatically restart when the server goes down due to something unexpected. My thinking was that if the server crashed, then I want to be there to bring up the databases to assess and repair any damage (yes, I am the only production DBA).

Am I being overly controlling? Looking for other opinions and thoughts on the matter.

Thanks
