Re: ORA-03113: end-of-file on communication channel

Good tip: check privileges. Next steps:
1. check alert.log and possible trace files in both the specified background_dump_dest and user_dump_dest
2. check alert.log and possible trace files in $ORACLE_HOME/rdbms/log or trace
3. check kernel settings are according to the requirements from the installation guide for V8.1.7 for Sun. If needed adjust kernel and reboot; pay special attention to semaphore and shared memory related parameters of the kernel.
4. use (just to test) a "minimal" init.ora file to make sure there is no invalid parameter name or value and you don't have a very large SGA configured.
