ORA-01033: ORACLE initialization or shutdown in progress

2761758Sep 26 2014 — edited Sep 26 2014

Hello,

I have been using the Oracle SQL Developer for about a month now.  For some reason, when I opened it today and clicked to expand my database, it gave me the following message:

An error was encountered performing the requested operation:

ORA-01033: ORACLE initialization or shutdown in progress

01033. 0000- "ORACLE initialization or shutdown in progress"

*Cause:  An attempt was made to log on while Oracle is being started up or shutdown.

*Action:  Wait a few minutes.  Then retry the operation.

Vendor code 1033

I have waited more than a few minutes and nothing is changing.  I have no idea what I did differently today that could've caused this!  Any help would be SO MUCH appreciated!

thanks,

Amanda
