    ERROR: ORA-01034: ORACLE not available
    ORA-09243: smsget: error attaching to SGA

    Did you change any init.ora parameters since your db was last brought down? If so, you probably have an incompatibility with your init.ora and system configuration. If you're on unix, I would check your kernal params.

    It could be because of the SGA is set too large overload the
    system RAM .
    Boot you DB step by step ( before that count how much is your SGA :
    share_pool + block size * db block buffer

    My senior told me that it should not over 40% of the physical RAM .

    I also once had this one cause the DB crashed, and the lkSID file was remaining in $ORACLE_HOME/dbs ... check that ...
    also you can do :
    ipcs -a | grep oracle
    and see if you still have a semaphore and memory segment attached to your instance

    Hello,

    Check the following parameters in the init[SID].ora file :
    db_block_size
    db_block_buffers
    log_buffers
    shared_pool%%

    if these parameters are OK, try to startup (nomout) you DB.
    If you have the same problem, try : shutdown abort then startup nomount...


    Hope this helps

    Are you using Windows 2000/ NT ?
    I had this problem on windows platform which I could'nt resolve and had to reinstall Oracle. Fortunately, it was only personal Oracle on Home Computer.

    O/S is Windows NT
    I was able to restart the oracle. But I have to start manually Oracle services.
    And I still investigate what happened

    Thanks
    You are great
