How
to mount database exclusively?
started the database,
the apply the following to active archivelog. How
do I then mount the database
exclusively ?
SQL> alter database archivelog;
alter database archivelog
*
ERROR at line 1:
ORA-01126: database must be
mounted EXCLUSIVE and not open for this
operation
The problem is probably more
that the database is open, rather than mounted.
Shut the database down, issue
a startup mount, then perform the alter
database archivelog.
I must say, though, I've never seen anyone want to
archive PO, so I don't even
know if it's possible. However, give it a go and
see if it works.
HTH.
