We're going round in circles, here. Why would your massively expensive Oracle database not simply come up in one piece on a restart? And if it had a minor problem, why should it not be able to repair itself? MySQL can. SQL Server can. And, to be honest, Oracle can, too.
So that's not a reason for Oracle not to ship service start scripts.
And I need to call a DBA every time I restart a server? I don't need to call an Apache guy, or a jboss guy, or an IIS guy, or a SQL Server dba guy, when I start any of these systems.
There is no excuse; Oracle should provide service startup scripts...
Oracle does not want amateur people to mess with settings. So you must call DBA and pay his fees.
Finally! - an honest answer!
(Assuming, of course, that by "amateur" you mean non-Oracle certified, non-Oracle approved people...)
Yes. You're right on track.
