The difference between Oracle DBConsole <SID> and Oracle Service <SID> SID indicates the name of the oracle instance. Generally, the SID is: ORCL oracleDBConsole <SID> is the service of SID corresponding to the OEM db console of the database. if the SID corresponds to an OEM in db console mode, you need to enable this service. Generally speaking, if the oracleDBConsole is not started, http: // localhost: Port/application_name cannot be opened. www.2cto.com OracleService <SID> is the service of the database corresponding to the SID. 1. start OracleService and you can use PL/SQL to connect to the database. 2. when OracleService is disabled, the corresponding database of the SID goes down and the manual startup sequence is stopped. My personal suggestion is: OracleService <SID>, followed by OracleDBConsole <SID> remarks: Oracle Enterprise Manager, OEM, console indicates Control Interface
