Home -> Community -> Mailing Lists -> Oracle-L -> RE: To autostart database or not?
I'm curious: Why not auto-start dev and test?

We are set up the same. Production auto starts. Dev and test do not. SAs know to call if there is an issue on restart.
Works great. I love my sleep.

I have my production dbs auto-started, while the dev dbs not.
Usually the alert log file and trace/dump file would give you enough clue(s) why the instance goes down. I am in Boston and I had one db in California went down at 3am (Boston time) because of power outage. I did not get the call and it auto-started.

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
