Hi Guys,
I encountered sudden VirtualCenter service shutdown due to DB error. However, DB connectivity is fine I went to oracle odbc on my server and tested the same... after this vCenter service is not starting up. Please find the event viewer error message below. I have couple of questions more which i have included after the error message.

You may be able to use the /AUXSOURCE= flag to retrieve this description; see Help and Support for details.

Is oracle a good Database for vCenter installation? What are the best practices related to Oracle hosting a vCenter metadata DB?
I am only able to find best practices and fine tuning tips for SQL 
we dont have a robust SQL environment and Oracle is on a highly available environment hence that is recommended by enterprise security team and DB team
