Hello There....

I had installed Oracle Personal Edition 8.1.6.0.0 on Windows 2000 Professional Edition. Previously it was working properly. But, all of a sudden after some 15-20 days, it started giving problem.

The problem is that, I am able to start all the other Oracle services, but not able to start the OracleServiceDBNAME. Whenever I start the service manually or automatically, it stays in "Starting" mode and does not completely start.

What might be the problem and its solution?

I would be obliged, if you could help me out, as I have a lot of information stored on the database.

Thanks in Advance,

Regards,
Denis

Your database might need some attention. Do you see any errors in your ALERT.LOG file?

Best regards.

Thanks Frank for your valued reply.

I will have a look at it and let you know by then. But, is there any utility in Oracle to repair the database in case of corruption?

Thanks in advance,

Denis

Hi Dennis,
connect to using oracle to user internal password: oracle and type "startup" on the sql prompt. Either it will start or will give you some error message which will aid in getting the database up.
Hope you have taken a backup of export of the database. one of the easiest way is to export a database. take a look at my paper on exporting at http://jaydba.tripod.com/id60.html

hi,

Denu as per reply of Frank your database really need more attention but .... do one thing as you are on windows o/s

press ALT+CTL+DEl

than click task manger

In task manager click processes

In that you can see oracle.exe right click it and click end process tree.

than go to your control pannel --> administrative tool --> services and try to start your service oracleservice<sid>
Note:-Sid==> system identifier (i.e.database name)

Note :- dont forget to start listener related services in control pannel Very Happy

Hope my given information will be usefull to you.

Regards
Always friend sunilkumar.

I dont think it is advisable to kill oracle.exe process. it could cause corruption of the database creating further complications.

To shutdown the database login to internal/oracle from the sql prompt and issue "shutdown immediate".

to recover the database there are commands that you can fire from sqlplus and for zero loss requirements you will need to configure database in archive log mode.

further check the login details of the service in the control panel>administrative tools>service.

it could be system admin issue.

hi,

jay ... see the first post of this question in that it is specified that....

>>The problem is that, I am able to start all the other Oracle services, but not able to start the OracleServiceDBNAME. Whenever I start the service manually or automatically, it stays in "Starting" mode and does not completely start.

>>What might be the problem and its solution?

From above u can see that the database is not started & denu is trying to start it...so better for him to kill the oracle.exe and can take necessary step...

Regard
always friend sunilkumar.

Yup...you are right. not much harm since its not a live system.
But as a dba i would rather be safe than sorry.
