Starting instance in idle mode (10gR2 on Windows Vista)

649635Nov 20 2008 — edited Nov 20 2008

Hi!

I was wondering how I can initially start an Oracle instance in idle mode. Currently, I can only open the database, then connect as sys with sqlplus and shutdown the database.

Here's what I do:

1.) Start the TNS Windows service.
2.) Start the "OracleService<SID>" Windows service. Otherwise I can't even connect with sqlplus, but starting this service buts the database in open mode already.
3.) Connect with sqlplus and execute shutdown.

Is there a way to start the "OracleService<SID>" Windows service but keeping the instance in idle mode directly?

Thanks for your help,
Marcus
