You can use the following methods to check if the Oracle database has been started:

  1. Connect to the database instance using the SQL*Plus tool and execute the following command:
SELECT instance_name, status FROM v$instance;

If the “status” column in the output shows “OPEN”, it means the database has been started.

  1. Check the status of the Oracle database listener. You can inspect the listener status by running the following command:
lsnrctl status

If the output shows that the listener is running properly, then the database has been started.

  1. You can check the service status of an Oracle database in a Linux system using the following command:
service oracle status

If the output shows that the Oracle service is running, then the database has been started.

Please note that you need to have sufficient permissions to carry out the above operation. If you are unsure how to do these actions or encounter issues, please reach out to your database administrator or system administrator for assistance.
