I agree with you.  Makes no sense to me.  So what if the server goes
down, up, down and then up.  Oracle is built for restart.

I'm curious:  Why not auto-start dev and test?

We are set up the same.  Production auto starts.  Dev and test do not.
SAs know to call if there is an issue on restart.

Works great.  I love my sleep.

I have my production dbs auto-started, while the dev dbs not.

Usually the alert log file and trace/dump file would give you enough
clue(s) why the instance goes down.  I am in Boston and I had one db in
California went down at 3am (Boston time) because of power outage. I did
not get the call and it auto-started.

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
