Mea culpa, mea culpa, mea maxima culpa. You are right. Nevertheless, I do have a problem with the people unwilling to put in a bit of their own work. This guy wants to open EM console on a database that isn't even open, it's perpetually recovering. EM console usually needs an open database to create the repository in.
He was, of course, unsuccessful but didn't stop to try to figure out why, he simply asked the question. That prompted my reaction. Beginners per se are, of course, welcome, much the same way that a lamb is welcome to the pack of wolves. The element of respect must be present or this forum will become as useless as oracle-l. Online forums are not a replacement for reading the manuals. There is no Steve Adams here to rescue the lambs.
Quite appropriately, there is an old saying, usually attributed to Ben Franklin: democracy is two wolves and a lamb voting on what to have for dinner. Liberty is well armed lamb contesting the vote.
