I know this sounds lame but how do you start the Oracle server? I thought by running sqlplus the server would start. I am new at Oracle and have only been playing with it for less than a week, apologies.

The Universal installer asked me what database I wanted to create, I chose General purpose and gave it a name so I guess thats OK, but as I can go no further at the moment I cannot check.

Whats the syntax to start the server and how would you have it start automatically?

Thanks for your help

Kevin.
