How do I fix "ORA-01033: ORACLE initialization or shutdown in progress" error?
- by Rick
I have an Oracle 9.2 database. The server has crashed. After rebooting any attempt to connect to the Oracle server returns error ORA-01033 (as in title).
I've tried stopping and starting the Oracle services (from Control Panel - Administrative Tools - Services).
Also, I have waited half an hour, so I don't think the Oracle server is legitimately still starting up. My feeling is that more likely something is corrupted.
