I'm sorry. I thought that you mounted a database and that the instance was the area in memory (corresponding to the SGA and PGA) that Oracle used. So what is the instance?

The service must be started for the instance to be able to mount and connected to. However the service can be started without having to mount the instance. HTH Denham -----Original Message----- Sent: Wednesday, October 31, 2001 3:50 PM To: Multiple recipients of list ORACLE-L My understanding is that the instance is the service. Can you start the instance without a mounted database?

If my NT server (which runs an Oracle instance) gets rebooted accidentally, how can i bring up the Oracle services without starting up the instance ? I want to startup the instance with a script later . I'm interested in an answer for both Oracle 8.0.5 and 8.1.7 on NT4. Thanks in advance.
