To check the running status of the Oracle database, you can use the following method:

  1. Connect to the database using the SQL*Plus tool and execute the following query statement:
SELECT STATUS FROM V$INSTANCE;

If the status of the database instance is OPEN, it means the database is running.

  1. Use database management tools such as Oracle Enterprise Manager (OEM) or Oracle SQL Developer to view the status and health of the database.
  2. You can check the status of the Oracle database listener in Linux systems using the following command:
lsnrctl status

If the listener status is normal, it means the database is running normally.

  1. In the /trace/ directory, check the alert_.log file to understand the database’s operational status and possible error messages.

By using the methods above, you can easily check the running status of Oracle database on Linux system.
