common problem but do help
Hi,
My environment:
Windows 7 Ultimate (32-bit version)..
Looks like this issue seem to be resolved in many threads but I being a novice really didnt find the language to be simple. I normally use a home desktop in which I installed the SQL software . It was running fine before but since 2 days.
I have the error "ORA-01034: Oracle not available" when I login.
So just to let you know, I normally open the software using command search "sqlplus'' in Windows+R
It opens a black windows saying
SQL*Plus: Release 10.2.0.1.0 - Production on Tue Dec 4 20:49:13 2012
Copyright (c) 1982, 2005, Oracle. All rights reserved.
and then normally I try to connect using the
Username: System
Password: ******
Then, it throws me the message
ORA-01034: Oracle not available
ORA-27101 shared memory realm does not exist
A computer restarted fixed the problem once but this time I have no luck.
I am just starting to study by my own.
I just downloaded the software and I am practicing at home.
No important application running but this issue is driving me crazy.
Any help is appreciated,
Thanks in advance
Nikhil
