After recovery and restart in 9i, can mount but not open

758486Mar 15 2010 — edited Mar 16 2010
It seems I can never leave this group, but many thanks to those who've got us this far.

I recently recovered our 9i database in Windows XP. I was initially able to open and view the database via sql and the enterprise manager. However after a restart I can no longer open it, though I can mount it. Upon attempting to open it I get ORA 01092, Oracle instance terminated, disconnection forced.

I've checked that:

1) the tnsnames.ora and listener.ora files all have the same entry for HOST (although in the listener status below I see several values, I don't know if this is related to this problem. I also notice that the status for our database is listed as 'unknown' in the listener status. When I was initially able to log in via enterprise manager it also reported the same thing.)
2) ORACLE_SID is set= <SID>.
3) There aren't any errors being reported in /RDBMS/TRACE/alert_<sid>.log. Are they going elsewhere?
4) I am able to tnsping our SID.
5) Under Services, there is a OracleService<sid> that is started and set to start upon startup.

Any ideas? Thanks!
