Hi

I'm trying to connect to my oracle install using sqlplus and create a
new user. I get the error "database not open". How do I open this?

I'm using Oracle 9i Enterprise Edition on Linux Redhat 8

Thx

It sounds as though Oracle is not running.
$ SQLPLUS
/ as sysdba
startup
exit

I suspect that since you are asking the above question,
that you'll have other problems due to the lack of RTFM.

I have searched through previous threads regarding this error. I went back through all my code to make sure I closed and set to nothing all open db's and rs's. However, I still have one computer getting this error. This problem does not occur with any other users - some of whom use the database continuously. The user logs in, then goes to the Add Invoice form - it's a fairly simple form, single table recordset with a subform based on...

In an application I am writing the user can define a series of steps to be followed. I save them in a sql database using the field "order" (a smallint) as the primary key.

The problem may come in using a renumber function which should take the steps in their current order...

This works fine and users can have Access macro security on high or medium and do not get prompted at startup. The problem comes because there are two of us modifying the code. Whenever either one of us changes the code, one of us must resign both the front and back end of the database. If we forget to sign both, we...
