Stopping a Database in OracleDB for Azure is accomplished from the blade for the database you wish to stop. Each blade is slightly different and so are the database details, but the process is similar.

1. Go to the database blade for the database you wish to stop.

2. Select the specific database you want to stop from the list. This will open the details for that specific database, as shown in the example below.

3. Select the Stop icon. If the Stop icon is not active, the database is already stopped.
4. Confirm that you want to Stop the database by selecting the Yes button. If you do not wish to stop that database, select the No button.
5. The command to Stop the database will be submitted. The database details will update when the database has been stopped. Use the Refresh icon to see this.
6. For Oracle HeatWave, the HeatWave Cluster is automatically started and stopped when you start and stop the database system, but it can also be started and stopped on its own while the database system is running. You can stop the HeatWave Cluster on its own by selecting the HeatWave tab on the left menu bar, then selecting the Stop icon.
