I'm running Personal Oracle 8 on a non-networked Windows 95 machine. Up until last night I was not having any problems. Now, when I choose "Start Database" from the Program Menu, it displays

ORA-12203
Can not attach to Oracle8

The file SQLNET.LOG contains more information:

---

Fatal NI connect error 12203, connecting to:

(DESCRIPTION=(ADDRESS_LIST=(ADDRESS=(PROTOCOL=BEQ)(PROGRAM=oracle80)(ARGV0=oracle80orcl)(ARGS='(DESCRIPTION=(LOCAL=YES)(ADDRESS=(PROTOCOL=beq)))')))(CONNECT_DATA=(SID=orcl)(CID=(PROGRAM=C:\ORAWIN95\BIN\OSTART80.EXE)(HOST=C72FB62E)(USER=Mike))))

  VERSION INFORMATION:

	TNS for 32-bit Windows: Version 8.0.4.0.0 - Production

  Tns error struct:
    nr err code: 12203
    TNS-12203: TNS:unable to connect to destination     ns main err code: 12549
    TNS-12549: TNS:operating system resource quota exceeded     ns secondary err code: 12560
    nt main err code: 519
    TNS-00519: Operating system resource quota exceeded     nt secondary err code: 0
    nt OS err code: 0

I don't know what resource quotas exist under Windows 95, except that I've checked disk space and all drives have plenty available.

What can I do to get Oracle to start up again? Received on Mon Nov 01 1999 - 00:12:48 CST
