Title: RE: Are Oracle courses required for Oracle Certification now?

 

I have used the service level stuff also, but wanted to figure out the DOS Sqlplus stuff,

 so if there is a problem with the database,

 and need to do a startup mount or a recovery,

 or do all those nice command level stuff that was in svrmgr,

 I have NO idea how you would do those from the service level.

if the DOS command prompt doesn't work, try starting it at the services level.

How do you startup & shutdown the database on NT/W2K ?

As I am able to, from the DOS Command Prompt

set oracle_sid=orcl
sqlplus /nolog
connect / as sysdba
startup pfile=initorcl.ora or shutdown immediate

Just fine, at least with O 9.2

This is unfortunate or maybe just it's just an urban legend?

Hands on training, may it be $$$ or self taught at home is necessary. But
$$$ is
definitely not a requirement.

I use Oracle at work and do more Oracle at home for my certs. I am able to
log-in to Oracle on Linux and Solaris. Oracle WinNT/2K is another story
since
you cannot really use:

sqlplus /nolog
connect / as sysdba
startup

as you would on Unix. Maybe this is what ticked the instructor off - a bunch
of
Unix Oracle guys can't log into Oracle on NT?
