Automatically start Oracle Database and EM on Linux 7 after server reboot

Environment: Oracle database 11.2.0.4.0, Linux 7

Oracle 11g includes 2 scripts which can be used to start or shut down Oracle databases on Linux. Both scripts are installed in $ORACLE_HOME/bin and are called dbstart and dbshut. However, these scripts are not executed automatically after you reboot your server. I will explain here how you can configure that.
First, you need to make sure that any database instances you want to autostart are set to “Y” in the /etc/oratab file.

Sudo as root user

GPMPERF:/u01/app/oracle/product/11.2.0/db_1:Y

NOTE :GPMPERF is the SID

The /etc/oratab file is normally created by running the root.sh script at the end of the installation. If you don’t have the file, you can always add it to your system by creating it manually (with user root!).
Next, we are going to create 2 scripts under /home/oracle/scripts: ora_start.sh and ora_stop.sh. These scripts will call dbstart and dbshut and will also allow us to add some more actions, for example the start of the Enterprise Manager database control or any other services you might have.
$ su – oracle
$ vi /home/oracle/scripts/ora_start.sh

#!/bin/bash

# script to start the Oracle database, listener and dbconsole

. ~/.bash_profile

# start the listener and the database
$ORACLE_HOME/bin/dbstart $ORACLE_HOME

# start the Enterprise Manager db console
$ORACLE_HOME/bin/emctl start dbconsole

exit 0

$ vi /home/oracle/scripts/ora_stop.sh

#!/bin/bash

# script to stop the Oracle database, listener and dbconsole

. ~/.bash_profile

# stop the Enterprise Manager db console
$ORACLE_HOME/bin/emctl stop dbconsole

# stop the listener and the database
$ORACLE_HOME/bin/dbshut $ORACLE_HOME

exit 0

You see that inside the scripts, we are calling the .bash_profile file of the user “oracle”. This is needed to set the ORACLE_HOME environment variable.
Next, give execute rights to the scripts:
$  chmod u+x ora_start.sh ora_stop.sh
You could now test these scripts to see if they correctly shut down and start up your Oracle database.
We will now create a wrapper script that can be used to schedule as a service.
With user root, create a file called “oracle” under /etc/init.d.
$ vi /etc/init.d/oracle

#!/bin/bash
# chkconfig: 345 99 10
# description: Oracle auto start-stop script.

# Set ORA_OWNER to the user id of the owner of the
# Oracle database in ORA_HOME.

ORA_OWNER=oracle
RETVAL=0

case "$1" in
    'start')
        # Start the Oracle databases:
        # The following command assumes that the oracle login
        # will not prompt the user for any values
        su - $ORA_OWNER -c "/home/oracle/scripts/ora_start.sh"
        touch /var/lock/subsys/oracle
        ;;
    'stop')
        # Stop the Oracle databases:
        # The following command assumes that the oracle login
        # will not prompt the user for any values
        su - $ORA_OWNER -c "/home/oracle/scripts/ora_stop.sh"
        rm -f /var/lock/subsys/oracle
        ;;
    *)
        echo $"Usage: $0 {start|stop}"
        RETVAL=1
esac
exit $RETVAL

$ chmod 750 /etc/init.d/oracle

To create a service of this script, run the following command:

$ chkconfig --add oracle

Next, check the script by running “service oracle stop” or “service oracle start” from the command line.

After this, it’s time for the final test: reboot your server and check if your Oracle database is automatically started after the reboot.

Manually sample [Scott] Schema creation

1. Login as sys or system
2.Run "utlsampl.sql" located in ORACLE_HOME/rdbms/admin directory.

Global temporary Table

Oracle allows us to create temporary tables to hold data just for the duration of a session or for a particular transaction.



ON COMMIT DELETE ROWS [The ON COMMIT DELETE ROWS Clause  indicates that the data should be deleted at the end of the transaction ,or end of the session]
======================
Example :

CREATE GLOBAL TEMPORARY TABLE my_test_tab
(
ID NUMBER,
description varchar2(10)
)
on commit delete rows;

SQL> insert into my_test_tab
  2  values (1,'one');

1 row created.

SQL> select count(*) from my_test_tab;

  COUNT(*)
----------
         1

SQL> commit;

Commit complete.

SQL> select count(*) from my_test_tab;

  COUNT(*)
----------
         0

ON COMMIT PRESERVE ROWS [this clause indicates that rows should persist beyond the end of the transaction.they will be removed at the end of the transaction]
========================

CREATE GLOBAL TEMPORARY TABLE test_tab
(
ID NUMBER,
description varchar2(10)
)on commit preserve rows;

SQL> insert into test_tab values(1,'one');

1 row created.


SQL> select count(*) from test_tab;

  COUNT(*)
----------
         1

SQL> commit;

Commit complete.

SQL> select count(*) from test_tab;

  COUNT(*)
----------
         1

SQL> exit;
