Hi,

When i was studying, Options of starting oracle i found that:-

The existence of datafiles, redolog files and the consistency of the database(ckecked for same SCN in datafile header and control file) are checked in OPEN stage, by following steps:-
1) I shutdown the database.
2) Changed one of the datafile name by operating system command.
3) Issued following command:-

SQL> startup mount pfile=C:\oracle\admin\Venkat\pfile\Third.ora;
ORACLE instance started.

Total System Global Area 118255568 bytes
Fixed Size 282576 bytes
Variable Size 83886080 bytes
Database Buffers 33554432 bytes
Redo Buffers 532480 bytes
Database mounted.


4) Database got mounted.
5) When i tried to open the database it gave error:-
SQL> alter database open;
alter database open
*
ERROR at line 1:
ORA-01157: cannot identify/lock data file 9 - see DBWR trace file
ORA-01110: data file 9: 'C:\ORACLE\ORADATA\VENKAT\NAVDBF.DBF'


that means the existence of datafiles, redolog files and the consistency of the database(ckecked for same SCN in datafile header and control file) are checked in OPEN stage.

Question:-
Then what exactly happens in MOUNT stage.I read that control files are read in MOUNT stage, then what oracle does after reading the control file in MOUNT stage.
I am really confused by the meaning of "MOUNT the database".

Please guide me.

Regards,
Naveen

Mounting the database means load the database instances in memory but not open any data file.

Hi Arju,

Mounting the database means load the database instances in memory but not open any data file.
I am not understanding this one because instance is started in NOMOUNT stage only.

Naveen

1.STARTUP NOMOUNT - brings up the instance or in other words the sga and background processes. This is mode startup in when wanting to create the database. No files are necessary to perform this startup, except the spfile or pfile.

2.STARTUP MOUNT - performs a 'nomount' then opens the control file. This is mode you startup in when wanting to perform recovery, or to rename some of the database files, such as system tablespace or log files.

3.STARTUP OPEN - performs a 'nomount', then a 'mount', then it opens all the database files, including the redo log files. This is mode needed inorder to access an data within the database.

Why don't you read Database Concepts instead of posting and posting and posting questions that are answered in this book?
