ORA-01033: ORACLE initialization or shutdown in progress [message #400034]

Greetings,

For the past few months I have been happily developing a series of reports against an Oracle 10g database (which has been working fine for months now). However, about a week ago, I logged my client PC on and all of sudden I'm consistently receiving the error: "ORA-01033: ORACLE initialization or shutdown in progress" when trying to query Oracle.

For the life of me, I can't figure out what has caused this and more importantly how to resolve this issue.

Any pointers or suggestions would be most welcome!

Thanks!

Regards,
pass_ora

Do you have SYS privilege for this database? Else check with your DBA.

Thanks! I took your suggestion and I now feel like I'm getting closer but now I am receiving these messages from Oracle:

ORA-01172: recovery of thread 1 stuck at block 2012 of file 2
ORA-01151: use media recovery to recover block, restore backup if needed

Any suggestions are likewise most appreciated!

Thanks.
