Re: ORA 01034 Oracle not available error

hi seamack

try this

ORA-01034 ORACLE not available

Cause: Oracle was not started. Possible causes include the following:

n The SGA requires more space than was allocated for it.

n The operating-system variable pointing to the instance is improperly

defined.

Action: Refer to accompanying messages for possible causes and correct the

problem mentioned in the other messages. If Oracle has been initialized, then

on some operating systems, verify that Oracle was linked correctly. See the

platform-specific Oracle documentation.
