Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

During a normal start up of the Oracle database, the state transitions are as follows:
1. NOMOUNT: Oracle reads the parameter file and creates the instance. At this stage, the database is not mounted.
2. MOUNTED: Oracle mounts the database, opening it for access without opening it for general use.
3. OPEN: Oracle opens the database for general use.

Therefore, the state that follows NOMOUNT during a normal start up is MOUNTED.
