Using SQL*Plus to Start Up
and Shut Down

[oracle@EDRSR9P1 oracle]$ sqlplus dba1/oracle as sysdba

SQL> shutdown immediate
Database closed.
Database dismounted.
ORACLE instance shut down.
SQL> startup
ORACLE instance started.

Total System Global Area 285212672 bytes
Fixed Size 1218472 bytes
Variable Size 250177624 bytes
Database Buffers 33554432 bytes
Redo Buffers 262144 bytes
Database mounted.
Database opened.
SQL>
Dynamic Performance Views
Dynamic performance views
provide access to
information about changing
states and conditions in the
database.
Session data
Wait events
Memory allocations
Running SQL
UNDO usage
Open cursors
Redo log usage
And so on

Dynamic Performance Views:
Usage Examples
SQL> SELECT sql_text, executions FROM v$sql
WHERE cpu_time > 200000;
SQL> SELECT * FROM v$session WHERE machine =
'EDRSR9P1' and logon_time > SYSDATE - 1;
SQL> SELECT sid, ctime FROM v$lock WHERE
block > 0;

Dynamic Performance Views:
Considerations
These views are owned by the SYS user.
Different views are available at different times:
The instance has been started.
The database is mounted.
The database is open.
You can query V$FIXED_TABLE to see all the view
names.
These views are often referred to as v-dollar
views.
Read consistency is not guaranteed on these
views because the data is dynamic.
Summary
In this lesson, you should have learned how to:
Start and stop the Oracle database and
components
Use Enterprise Manager and describe its high-
level functionality
Access a database with SQL*Plus and iSQL*Plus
Modify database initialization parameters
Describe the stages of database startup
Describe the database shutdown options
View the alert log
Access dynamic performance views
Practice Overview:
Managing the Oracle Instance
This practice covers the following topics:
Navigating in Enterprise Manager
Viewing and modifying initialization parameters
Stopping and starting the database instance
Viewing the alert log
Connecting to the database by using SQL*Plus
and iSQL*Plus
