Problem with connection

637446Jun 9 2010 — edited Jun 10 2010
Hi,

I was changing NLS parameters in Oracle XE, and after changes I read somewhere that I need to restart database. So, I googled how to restart database and I found on some site that I need to open CMD and then login as sysdba and then do 'shutdown immediate'. So I did that.
But, when I tried to connect again on database using SQL Developer I got next message:

An error was encountered performing the requested operation:

Listener refused the connection with the following error:
ORA-12505, TNS: listener does not currently know of SID given in connect descriptor.
The connection descriptor used by the client was:
localhost:1521:xe

Vendor code 0.

Can you please help me connect again on database?
