hi,
i was getting the oracle not found (ora-01034)
shared memory realm does not exist (ora-27101)
so i installed the oracle again

i was given a practical to create spfile from pfile
so i first shutdown the database with immediate option, then i connected as sysdba

ie sql> connect /as sysdba
connected to an idle instance.
sql>create spfile from pfile;

after entering the above statement i get two errors
ORA-01078: failure in processing system parameters LRM-00109: could not open parameter file 'E:\ORACLE......'

and now if i try to connect to database i get ora-01034 and ora-27101

>why does this happen?
because most likely you did not read & follow the Installation Guide.

>and is there any solution for this
Yes

>or will i hav to install it again....
Only if you are a glutton for punishment.

It appears you are running on Windoze. Which version?
What do you think is the SID of your database?

change directory to $ORACLE_HOME/dbs
List all the files in this directory & post the results back here

I am NOT saying you are wrong, but I am surprised by that file name.

Why do you think it is your spfile?

$ copy E:\oracle\admin\deep\pfile\init.ora.51320080547 e:\oracle\dbs\spfiledeep.ora

sqlplus
/ as sysdba
startup

& what happens?

For what it is worth V9 is no longer supported.
I suggest you work with either V10 or v11.

Deepan,
First of all be patient and don’t think about reinstallation.
Let’s resolve it.

How you are connecting to the database? It shouldn't ask for the password.

Do this:

c:\> set oracle_sid=deep
c:\> sqlplus "/ as sysdba"

SQL> startup

Let us know what happens

please create spfile using below command:

SQL> create spfile from pfile='path of pfile';

and then try to start the instance.
it will start the instance if it is a valid spfile.

or you can try with below to validate the pfile.

SQL> startup pfile=<path of pfile>;

try this

hi,
i have a problem with loading data into a database lesson.
i want to load using the load wizard using oracle enterprise manager console
ie database -> schema -> [schema name] -> tables
expand the table into which you will load data.
select Data Management -> load from right-mouse menu
it gives error "application can only be launched when the application is connected to the oracle management server (OMS)".

can we connect to oracle management server on a standalone computer?
if yes
how do we connect to OMS?

please help..
