Re: SQLPLUS - ORA-01034: ORACLE not available

Depends on your platform of course.
In NT :start the OracleStart<SID> service. Diagnostic messages are written in the alert and in oradim<xx>.log (prior to 8i, in 8i it's oradim.log)
In Unix, use the dbstart script or directly use svrmgrl issue connect internal followed by startup. If it doesn't work using Unix, one of the general causes is your files are having incorrect protection.
Regrettably I can't help you further without further details.
