Re: URGENT! shared memory realm does not exist

A little more info:

I have just realised that both my databases seem to start as long as I give oracle plenty of time to do its starting up when I boot the server.

Obviously if a DB is starting up I expect a startup/shutdown error but after doing this oracle seems to stop the statup of the databases. If I dont try to logon to any databases until oracle has finished (all disk activity ceases) then it seems to work OK.

Is there any way I can check if oracle has finished starting up all the datbases without trying to login into them?
