Hi,
oradim creates a service. It is used only once in the lifetime of a oracle
database (unless you use it to change service parameters like startup mode,
etc).
Once a service is created and started, you can use "startup" to start the
instance. So, the service may run while the instance is down. But starting
the instance (in fact, even starting svrmgrl sucessfully) requires the
service running.
[Quoted] Your statement "With oradim, you start an Oracle service" is wrong.
