Doesn't Linux have services like in windows where we can go to services.msc and start the desired service we like?

Thanks for the replies

Yes, it has.
But you need to configure your services manually ...

So,one should make a note of all the commands and run in the terminal every time we log in to our user.
by the way,i am not getting oracle in my applications menu..Any idea?

Why do you think it should be there? At most you'll have a shortcut to dbconsole ...

By the way, I think you need the XE edition, which is free and user friendly
Give it a try!

When i installed Oracle Xe i got it in the applications menu..now,i don't have any listing regarding Oracle,except that i have a user with oracle which is created during installation of oracle

The changes which i made in the above..will it be permanent?
Everyone are advising to update the environment variables in .bash_profile..But,unfortunately i couldn't find that

Hey,i rebooted my pc and i tried to connect sqlplus..It went well,thanks for ur kind replies..Just,starting the services is what annoying me..But,no issues may be i will get accustomed with that

If you want you scripts ran on system up you can put them in /etc/rc.local
Think of it as something like your startup folder on your Windows machine.

rc.local is executed after all other startup processes have finished


Edit: So, I thought I would give Oracle XE a shot. Here's a great guide on the initial configuration after install. Hopefully it helps.
