    Hi,

    I have installed Oracle Personal Edition on windows 2000.
    I get ORA-27101: shared memory realm does not exist; ORA-01034: ORACLE not available when i try to connect to the database through SQL*Plus: Release 8.1.7.0.0 - Production . I checked the tnsnames.ora for correct sid.

    Though i must mention that i also have a client version of oracle Oracle8i Enterprise Edition Release 8.1.5.0.0 - Production on my machine, which has the database on the network. This seems to be working fine.

    Both the above versions are installed different directory and i am trying to access them from their directory only.

    Can someone please help me resolve this conflict that i am entangled in.

    Thanks in advance.

    Could you explain this?
    What does NTS mean?
    Why and how this will work?
    Thanks.

    MYORACPN =
    (DESCRIPTION =
    (ADDRESS_LIST =
    (ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = 127.0.0.1)(PORT = 1521))
    )

    Open a DOS prompt, set ORACLE_SID and try to run svrmgrl:

    c:> set ORACLE_SID=
    c:> svrmgrl

    Can you use svrmgrl this way, startup and shutdown database etc?
    If yes, verify that ORACLE_SID is set correctly in registry.

    Pls try again (due to typo error):
    Open a DOS prompt, set ORACLE_SID and try to run svrmgrl:

    c:> set ORACLE_SID= your_SID (!)
    c:> svrmgrl

    Can you use svrmgrl this way, startup and shutdown database etc?
    If yes, verify that ORACLE_SID is set correctly in registry.

    RE:

    I get following error:ORA:12154 : TNS:Could not resolve service name.

    Also i noticed in the registry the following:

    software/ORACLE/ALL HOMES has 2 different homes. One for the version (HOME0)which has oracle db on the network and HOME1 which has the Personal Edition Oracle8i

    Under software/ORACLE/ORACLE_HOMES , there is ONLY ONE sublisting that is ORACLE0 which is referring to the network version.

    I suspect that that the reference is only to one Oracle_home although the Personal version is installed correctly with its own Oracle_home (HOME1) and respective attributes.

    I don't know what to do ?

    Thanks for your active help. I appreciate that.

    RE:

    I don't get the TNS unresolved error this time. The server mgr through dos seems to be working fine. I don't know what i can do at the registry level, as i mentioned earlier that the default home recognized is only one.

    Someone please help!
    Thanks.
