Re: sgadefSID.dbf

These files are created by the instance on startup. They should not exist when the instance is shut down (oracle deletes them)

I think the dbstart looks to see if there is an existing file, so that it can tell if the instance is already started.

If the file is not found then it will start the instance

If it is found it assumes the system has crashed or was running when the server shut down and will attempt to recover the instance

Are you getting a message about the file? If so, what is it ?
