Nan, the "connected to an idle instance" message just means your connection
found the Oracle instance you tried to connect to is not running and the
session is ready to issue the limited set of commands that can be applied in
this situation such as startup.
You may want to reference the DBA Administration manual chapter on starting and
stopping an Oracle instance
