A database instance can be in the following operational states:

Operational State

Description

ONLINE

The database instance is ready. Database users can log on and execute SQL statements. Database administrators can also execute a variety of administration tasks, such as backups.

STANDBY

Only for standby instances in Hot Standby systems; a standby instance cannot accept any connections and is constantly in a restart state.

ADMIN

The database instance is only available for administration tasks.

OFFLINE

The database instance is not running.

Note

When the database instance is transferred from one operational state to another, it may be temporarily in an intermediate state.

To monitor or change the operational state of the database instance, use the Database Manager, or, in SAP systems, the Database Assistant of the CCMS.
