Home -> Community -> Mailing Lists -> Oracle-L -> Database hanging on startup
Hi:
We have a dev instance that upon issuing a alter database open ; command
the process just hangs . There is no messages in the alert log; no Trace
files in bdump, udump or cdump. Metalink has been no help!!. We have tried
starting this db from a backup controlfile, startup force, recover database,
startup restrict everything We try hangs.
We are running in noarchive log mode.
We appear to have enough memory as we are not paging.
I would open Tar with Oracle but development databases are pushed back days.
any ideas would be greatly appreciated
Thanks
John McCabe
