My doubt and question are on ORADIM command and the windows service Oracle. ???? In windows environment why have to check if this service is started before type in sql*plus the startup command ?? Isn't startup command (in sql*plus) that allocate memory structure (SGA+PGA) and startup background processes (DBWn + LGWR + CKPT .....) ? Thanks for your comments, Luca
