I have a 11g XE DB in a Windows 7 machine.
The installation has created a Windows service called OracleServiceXE. It's status is STARTED.
I then login to SQLPLUS as sysdba and do a shutdown immediate;
SQL> shutdown immediate
Database closed.
Database dismounted.
ORACLE instance shut down.
Problem is, when I refresh the services, the OracleServiceXE is still showing as STARTED.
If I use the listener control to stop the listener the Windows service OracleXETNSListener changes status to BLANK.
Why is this?
