RE: To autostart database or not?

Dwayne,

You are not being over-controlling if you want to be called to come in
every time the server burps.  That is the only issue.

Personally, I do not want to be called.  Let Oracle come up by itself
and only call me if it fails to start.

Tom

Subject: To autostart database or not?


We are running a few Oracle9i and 10g databases on RHEL and I have 
always opted NOT to have the databases automatically restart when the 
server goes down due to something unexpected.  My thinking was that if 
the server crashed, then I want to be there to bring up the databases to

assess and repair any damage (yes, I am the only production DBA).

Am I being overly controlling?  Looking for other opinions and thoughts 
on the matter.

Thanks
