/etc/oratab文件的内容:
# This file is used by ORACLE utilities. It is created by root.sh
# and updated by the Database Configuration Assistant when creating
# a database.
# A colon, ':', is used as the field terminator. A new line terminates
# the entry. Lines beginning with a pound sign, '#', are comments.
#
# Entries are of the form.:
# $ORACLE_SID:$ORACLE_HOME::
#
# The first and second fields are the system identifier and home
# directory of the database respectively. The third filed indicates
# to the dbstart utility that the database should , "Y", or should not,
# "N", be brought up at system boot time.
#
# Multiple entries with the same $ORACLE_SID are not allowed.
#
#
oradb:/u01/app/oracle/product/11.2.0/db_1:N

这个文件是在创建数据库实例时建立的,需要用root用户运行root.sh,如果忘记运行在自启动和关闭时会失败,错误信息:"/etc/oratab" is not accessible。
它记录主机中有多少个数据库。
在$ORACLE_HOME/bin目录下的$ORACLE_HOME/bin/dbstart和$ORACLE_HOME/bin/dbshut需要调用/etc/oratab文件,如果不存在,dbstart和dbshut将失败。
etc/oratab 格式为: SID:ORACLE_HOME:AUTO
如果需要自动启动数据库,则将AUTO设为Y,在调用dbstart命令才生效。dbstart根据/etc/oratab中的配置来启动相应的数据库,选项只是能不能用$ORACLE_HOME/bin/dbstart和$ORACLE_HOME/bin/dbshut来启动和关闭数据库的开关。
如果不用dbstart脚本启动数据库,而是用自己的脚本来启动,根本不需要oratab文件。
