i have 3 databases installed on my laptop and all are working perfectly fine until i perform a shutdown.

Connected to:
Oracle Database 10g Enterprise Edition Release 10.2.0.1.0 - Production
With the Partitioning, OLAP and Data Mining options

SQL> shutdown immediate
Database closed.
Database dismounted.
ORACLE instance shut down.
SQL> startup open
ORA-12514: TNS:listener does not currently know of service requested in connect
descriptor
SQL> startup mount
ORA-24324: service handle not initialized
ORA-01041: internal error. hostdef extension doesn't exist

I checked the listener and its working fine too.

# listener.ora Network Configuration File: C:\oracle\product\10.2.0\db_1\NETWORK\ADMIN\listener.ora
# Generated by Oracle configuration tools.

SID_LIST_LISTENER =
  (SID_LIST =
    (SID_DESC =
      (SID_NAME = PLSExtProc)
      (ORACLE_HOME = C:\oracle\product\10.2.0\db_1)
      (PROGRAM = extproc)
    )
  )

LISTENER =
  (DESCRIPTION_LIST =
    (DESCRIPTION =
      (ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = 192.168.35.101)(PORT = 1521))
    )
    (DESCRIPTION =
      (ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = IPC)(KEY = EXTPROC0))
    )
)

however, when i restart the database using the OS services the database is up. what could be the problem?

Didn't you try to remotely connect?
Quit SQL*Plus and retry.

Use a local connection not a remote one (that is with @...)

The issue is that when database is not up it is not registered in listener and then you can't connect to it.

gotcha!! thanks michel...

as for varu123. the post was a previous one which still used the remote connection. by defining the oracle_sid then the local connection immediately it works.. Smile
