I have two question.
My database was down and I had to reboot it back. what are the few things I need to see first and analyze what went wrong in database so that it became slower and slower. Once database was shut down but still the uptime on unix was showing the same when database was slow. I dont know why the jptime on unix remained the same even after database was shut down.

Thanks

Not sure what you are talking about here and what the problem is.
Quoting wikipedia
Quote:
Uptime is a measure of the time a computer system has been "up" and running.

It has nothing to do with the availability of database.
Or did i misread your posting?

Why dont you look at your alert log file. This should give you pretty much the exact reason why your database went down. Or it will give you the name of the trace file in which the errors are recorded.

The uptime on a unix system shows how much time the system has been up.
The best measure of a DB's health is provided by the alert log files. if you are not able to find any supporting entry in the alert log, then there is only so much you can do to analyze the problems.

If your DB performance is slower, try to take a statspack report and analyze the SGA performance along with some of the wait events.
