Hi,

I guess I start with...This Really Sucks. hehe. Okay that aside now...

To the best of my knowledge nothing on the server changed. I am the one of very few who even has access to the server. All I know is when I try to connect to a database via SQL+ I get the following message:

ORA-01034: ORACLE not available
ORA-09243: smsget: error attaching to SGA
OSD-04101: invalid SGA: SGA not initialized

OSD-04101 says something about not enough memory? Well I have plenty of memory.. I really don't think thats the problem because when I go into NT performance monitor the memory usage is really low. CPU is also low. I don't know whats wrong :(

So I perform a fresh reboot of the server. The following Oracle services are Started:

OracleServiceORCL
OracleStartORCL
OracleTNSListener80
OracleWebAssistant

Another thing to note is when I check the Event log I see EIGHT entries all identical to the following:

Event ID: 16
Source: Oracle80.orcl
Type: Warning
Description: Instance orcl has been terminated.

This is my cry for help...WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!
Thanks in advance,
Nico

I am using Oracle version 8.something. Also there is *NO* alert log file. I checked my whole disk. Where could it have gone? :/

i beleive, something is up with registry!

1. Run REGEDT32 and go to HKEY_Local_Machine on Local_Machine.
2. Got to Software.
3. Go to Oracle.
4. Look for ORACLE_SID and verify it is set to the SID to which the you are trying to connect.
If not, double click on ORACLE_SID and modify the string.

The Oracle_SID value is perfect. What else could it be?

It shows you have plenty of memory because Oracle didn't start. You are running out of memory. Check the amount of memory oracle wants by adding ((DB_BLOCK_SIZE * DB_BLOCK_BUFFERS) + SHARED_POOL_SIZE + SHARED_POOL_RESERVED_SIZE + LARGE_POOL_SIZE + JAVA_POOL_SIZE).

The alert log is in background_dump_dest. Check bdump, cdump (core), and udump (user) dump destinations for .trc files that may help also. All these destinations are specified in your initSID.ora file(s).
