One of the first things you need to do is to figure out WHY the database is hung, if it's even "hung".

Have a look at the alert log and look for anything to indicates an error. Also, have a look at the CPU usage and see if it's pegged at 100%.

But what is the solution when we aren't connected to database and it is hung.

If it's hung, it's hung. You need to figure out WHY first, that will determine what to do next.

As mentioned above you need to look in the alert log and see what that says, solution depends on the problem.

It's a file on the server.
You view it in a text editor.

Not sure what else you are asking.

Connect to the server (not the database), either via ssh (Unix) or via Remote Desktop (Windows) as the Oracle user.

Navigate to the directory that contains the alert log, open it via "vi" (Unix) or Notepad (Windows). Go to the bottom and start reading.
