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

  1. To log in to the database server, open the command line window and enter the following command to access SQL.
sqlplus / as sysdba

Next, enter the following command to check the running status of the database:

SELECT status FROM v$instance;

This will display the current status of the database, such as OPEN, MOUNTED, or CLOSED.

  1. Use Oracle Enterprise Manager: Log in to the Oracle Enterprise Manager (OEM) console, select the target database instance, and then view the database overview page, which will display the database’s operational status.
  2. Execute a SQL query: Log in to the database server, open the SQL client, and input the following query to check the database’s running status.
SELECT STATUS, INSTANCE_NAME FROM V$INSTANCE;

This will display the running status and name of the database instance.

Regardless of the method used, it is necessary to have sufficient permissions to view the database’s operational status.
