ASA,
It says that your database is not start yet, your should configure to start database autmaticlly through windows services(go to Run->services.msc->oracleservice(your database name) right click and select automatic) or you can start your database manaully by logging to your database as
click
Run->sqlplus and log on as
sys/change_on_install as sysdba
write command-> startup
Best wishes

This generally happens, if your database is not properlly mounted. For mouning your database, follow following steps:
1) Open DOS propmt
2) write SVRMGRL and enter
3) Connect with internal user, Connect internal
4) write Startup. This will mount your database propelly.
Regards,
+Anil

I work on a UNIX system and had a similar problem. I found that when the server is restarted, the Oracle database begins in the ORACLE_HOME defined in my /var/opt/oracle/oratab file. My OS user environment had the ORACLE_HOME defined differently (I used a symbolic link). When I tried to get to the database using:
sqlplus "/ as sysdba"
I got the
ORA-01034: ORACLE not available
ORA-27101: shared memory realm does not exist
message. I used the ps command to verify that my database was really up (it was). I changed my ORACLE_HOME environment variable and was able to get into the database.
I had to make sure that my ORACLE_HOME matched the ORACLE_HOME used to start and stop the database.
Hope this helps!

I came across the following at the http://asktom.oracle.com site which explains why the ORACLE_HOME must be set properly:
"The SID is a site identifier. It plus the Oracle_home are hashed together in
Unix to create a unique key name for attaching an SGA. If your Oracle_sid or
Oracle_home is not set correctly, you'll get "oracle not available" since we
cannot attach to a shared memory segment that is identified by magic key. On
NT, we don't use shared memory but the SID is still important. We can have more
then 1 database on the same oracle home so we need a way to id them."

i have only 1 data base instance my server.
when i installed the database, the universal installer was unable to create a database for me, then i manual created using database configuration assistant.
it worked without any error for couple of days, then started giving this error.
i have AD installed (but it was installed before the Oracle installation)
command was SQLPLUSW.EXE system/manager@itech8i

the universal installer gave error (what i remember) that must run the setup from administrator acc. like this. however i was Logged in as the Administrator Account, infact with administrator account. and after teh setup completed, i created the database manually in the same session.
Quote:
If the database is open then it is mounted (previous step in startup).
well if you check the alert log pasted later, it still shows the same lines as previous, no new lines added (after i rebooted the system). isn't it suppose to add new lines when ever the datase is started.(auto or manual)
and still i am getting the error, havnt yet started the db manualy (was waiting for your reply)
yes i am running sql locally,
OS : windows Server 2003 SP2
no change in OS since last it was working correctly!
just created users in AD, and joined pc's on domain.

and still, if i stop and restart the Service from MMC, the services is started without any error but when i try to login still gives the shared memory error.
and alert log laste time stamp is still Mon Mar 08 10:06:34 2010
.
one thing i noted, previously i do not require the TNS name to be specified when connecting localy via SQLPlusw, how ever when i now try to connect without specifying the TNS, it gives the TNS Protocol adapter error.
what can be the cause behind this ?

Quote:MMC shows that service is started, and dba studio shows that database is still down. even i restarted the service from MMC, the database status was still down.
why this could be?
Because starting the service does NOT mean starting the database/instance.
There 4 steps in instance startup:
1/ Starting the service
2/ Starting the instance in nomount mode
3/ Mounting the database
4/ Opening the database
MMC only manage the first step unless your configuration parameters indicates to go further (HKLM\Software\Oracle\Homex\ORA_sid_AUTOSTART=TRUE, iirc)
Quote:how to see which database is installed, and which the MMC is showing ?
I don't understand the question, didn't you point to database service in your picture?
One point, it seems to me that SID was limited to 4 characters in 8i on Windows (but Oracle8i is a very old version).
Quote:which failed to install by universal installer, then i created it manually.
You still don't post the reason of this failure.

Michel

===
here is the registry view for oracle home :
here AutoStart is set to true,
then why the database didn't start automatically, how to track?
.
PS: Michel, hopefully not disturbing you alot!
2), this post made my count 100! hehe..
