Here are some quick memos about Oracle. They are mostly here to be a place where I can refresh my memory.

Start a Oracle databse instance

* Setup paths and SID
export ORACLE_HOME=/usr/oracle/Ora901
export PATH=$PATH:$ORACLE_HOME/bin
export ORACLE_SID=mysid

* Start TNS Listner
lsnrctl start

* Startup the instance

$ sqlplus "/ as sysdba"
