database requires recovery

Cause

The database required recovery, and therefore could not be opened for read-only access by this instance.


Action

If the database was terminated abnormally (possibly using a shutdown abort), the database first needs to be opened in read/write mode. Otherwise, perform the necessary recovery and reopen for read-only access.
