RE: To autostart database or not?

Cerri,

I can offer one reason why this is not possible. In many environments, the SAs at the data center don't work for the same organization as the DBAs. Completely different companies/contractors. They are very capable of starting/stopping a database, but they are a hosting service and their responsibility ends at the OS level. At least that is how it has been in each shop I have worked.

Cheers,

Why not give the SA the minimum knowledge to use dbshut/dbstart and always update your /etc/oratab when you create, update or remove an instance?
