Title: Chapter 5 Managing the Oracle Instance
Course: RITA MC - ORACLE ADMINISTRATION I > Section: Unit 1 - Database Administration I

After creating a database and an instance, the instance will be started and the database
will be open. Assuming that the database was configured with Enterprise Manager
Database Control, that too will be running. What may not be running is the database
listener (which is fully described in Chapter 6). Before Database Control can connect to the
database, the listener must be running too.
