The database system has created the database instance and transferred it to the ONLINE operational state.

       3.      You can configure the operating system and database instance so that the database instance is automatically set to the ONLINE operational state when the computer is started (Automatic Start).

       4.      You can change the configuration of the database instance at a later date by using the Database Manager to change the values of the database parameters.
