Hi,

I want to check whether or not Oracle is running in Windows through command line. How to do that ?

If you're looking for something similar to what we do for *nix, you can use PSList from the PSTools collection available here to look for "oracle". There also exist several Unix-like utilities for Windows, like "ps". A simple Google search should turn up a few matches. That will tell you if the instance is up... not necessarily that the database is open however. For that I'd follow the sqlplus route.

Goodluck!

Kevin

You could put the following code into a batch file to test the status of the instance and the database. Please keep in mind that this isn't an exhaustive test.

@echo off
setlocal
set oracle_home=E:\oracle\10.2.0
set path=E:\oracle\10.2.0\bin
set oracle_sid=ora10g
(
echo conn / as sysdba
echo set head off feed off pages 0
echo select status from v$instance;
) | sqlplus -s /nolog > %TEMP%\status.log

for /f "tokens=3" %%i in ('%SystemRoot%\system32\find /c "OPEN" %TEMP%\status.log') do (
if %%i == 1 (
echo Database is OPEN
) ELSE (
echo Databse does NOT appear to be OPEN
))

for /f "tokens=4" %%i in ('%SystemRoot%\system32\sc query oracleserviceora10g ^| 
	%SystemRoot%\system32\find "STATE"') do echo The Oracle service is %%i
endlocal
