ORA-16633: the only instance of the database cannot be removed
Cause: The instance to be removed was the only instance of the corresponding database that was known to the broker.
Action: Remove the corresponding database object from the broker configuration instead of the individual instance object of the database.
ORA-16633错误表明,试图删除数据库时,当前实例中只有一个实例,无法删除该实例。官方解释如下:
ORA-16633: “Cannot drop/disable the only available instance”
Cause: An attempt was made to drop or disable the only instance of a database.
Action: either open another instance to the same database before performing this operation, or have a cold backup available if the attempt fails.
此错误常常出现在试图从Oracle实例或复制到数据库中删除最后一个实例时。正确处理此错误的步骤是:
1)先确定数据库中实例的数量;
2)如果数据库只有一个实例,则无法删除该实例;
3)要删除实例,必须先打开另一个实例;
4)最后,再从数据库中删除该实例。
