Hi All, Recently I upgraded an Oracle 9.2 database to Oracle 10g using dbua the gra= phical utility provided by 10g for upgrade. But after upgrade whenever I st= art the database using Windows Service OracleServiceSID and then try to con= nect to oracle using sqlplus, I get ORA-01033 Oracle Initialization Shutdow= n in progress ( I get this error even if I try sqlplus half an hour after b= ooting the system).=20 But if try to startup the database as follows, the database becomes operati= onal and then I can connect to the database without above error. SQL>connect /nolog; sql> conn sys/password@sid as sysdba; sql>shutdown; sql>startup; ..... So where should I look into so that Oracle DB start with the Windows Servic= e and I do not need to manually start the database.=20 Thx.
