ORA-01041: hostdef extension doesn't exist
I had to use "shutdown abort" and now I can't bring up Oracle again. I get the following messages:
Code:
SQL> startup
ORACLE instance started.
Total System Global Area 1577058304 bytes
Fixed Size 779316 bytes
Variable Size 938220492 bytes
Database Buffers 637534208 bytes
Redo Buffers 524288 bytes
Database mounted.
ORA-01092: ORACLE instance terminated. Disconnection forced
SQL> startup
ORA-24324: service handle not initialized
ORA-01041: internal error. hostdef extension doesn't exist
When I checked the error messages I got:
Quote: ORA-01092: Oracle instance terminated. Disconnection forced
Cause: The instance connected to was terminated abnormally, probably due to a SHUTDOWN ABORT. The current process was forced to disconnect from the instance.
Action: Contact the database administrator to determine when the instance is restarted. Attempt to reconnect after the instance is running again.
ORA-01041 internal error. HOSTDEF extension does not exist
Cause: The pointer to the HOSTDEF extension in HOSTDEF is null.
Action: Report as a bug to customer support. | It seems like a fair number of people on the net have run into this but I haven't seen any solutions yet. Is there a way to recover from this?
Thanks for any help!
