I installed Oracle8i Personal Edition on Windows XP, and created the Database .. It is OK.

When I login to Windows the Oracle Instance is not available. I should start it manually.

Hi,

The DB should start when the server starts, not when the first user login. Check the following:

From services, right click on the DB service (OracleServiceORCL), click on properties and set the startup type to "Automatic".

If the above doesn't help, try to re-create the service with oradim. Example:

oradim oradim -new -sid ORCL -intpwd oracle -maxusers 20 -startmode auto


Also, ensure the following properties are set in the registry:

Key: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESOFTWAREORACLEHOME<n>:

  ORA_<SID>_AUTOSTART = TRUE
  ORA_<SID>_PFILE = [your INIT.ORA file location]
  ORACLE_HOME= [...]
  ORACLE_SID = [...]


Also, check the %ORACLE_HOME%DatabaseOraDim.log file for possible startup errors.

Best regards.

Frank
