We are using a version of Personal Oracle 8i (8.1.7) that came from a
textbook publisher. It installs so as to start the database automatically
when the host PC boots up. While the instructions provide a way to start the
database (if it fails to start automatically) using Server Manager
(svrmgrl.exe), no instructions are provided to shut the database down
manually. It appears that Server Manager (command line, no help) expects the
user to first log on to the database and then issue some sort of shutdown
command. Does anybody know the correct syntax for these commands, or an
easier way to control the database?
Oracle running all the time bogs the school PC's down too much for users of
other software.
Any help will be greatly appreciated!
