Re: Database shutdown on NT

to shutdown Oracle,you can use the shudown command under sqldba7x or
Under Windows NT, you can use oradim7x

(where x is the Oracle version number.)

for example oradim 71 for Oracle NT 7.1, oradim73 for 73

This program is the instance manager of Oracle can be run interactively and also with command line parameters.

Interactivly, you will have a list of SID with the status of each instance and option to start, shutdown, the instance

type sqldim73 /? to get correct command line synthax.

but you will be able to perform the same operation this way that interactvly
