I am not able to run any query to change to CDB or PDB in SQL plus it shows the above error.
For instance I tried running the query
Alter pluggable database open
and got this error.
ERROR at line 1:
ORA-65090: operation only allowed in a container database
The correct command to change Container is
ALTER SESSION SET CONTAINER = containername;
If you are getting error then you must not be a privileged user

https://docs.oracle.com/database/121/ADMIN/cdb_pdb_admin.htm#GUID-E73BCAED-FF57-474A-A8C5-207D3F465413
I solved it. Though the solution is not a preferable one but it worked for me as of now. I used Database configuration assistant and deleted the pdb in which I getting connected to when logging using sqlplus. I would appreciate some proper solution to this.

i have an error which is driving me crazy and i dont know how to deal with it. In a PC with windows 10 64-bit , i got an oracle database server 11g. Everytime the pc restarts or shuts down and then restarts i get the following error when i try to connect to the database :
ORA-01033: ORACLE initialization or shutdown in progress
Process ID: 0
Session ID: 0 Serial number: 0
the only way to get my database running is the following one:
open a cmd and type :
rman target /
recover database;
shutdown immediate;
startup mount;
alter database open resetlogs;
after that everything is fine , but if i restart the PC i get the same error again.
Has anyone dealted with anything like this before?
I have checked the hard disk and is ok, have defragmented it, have run test diagnostics, it is driving me crazy. Any idea would be welcome!
Thanx in advance!
That is a pretty general error. Your database can have issues with either starting up or maybe shuting down cleanly.
I would recommend you looking at the end of the alert.log file right after the server is started, before performing rman recovery.
You can find hints there as why the database did not started up to open state, where and why it is hanging, etc.
EDIT: So the error is ORA-00600 [dbkif_find_next_record_1]
Whenever an ORA-00600, or ORA-00700 or ORA-07445 occurs, this is an internal error within Oracle core. For this cases there is this neat tool at http://support.oracle.com which can search the knowledge base of Oracle MySupport network and try to find existing articles and/or patches, hotfixes for respective arguments of these internal errors.
The tool can be found as Oracle Support Doc ID 153788.1.
Unfortunatelly, the lookup tool did not found anything for argument ORA-00600 [dbkif_find_next_record_1]. In that case please make sure that your OS is updated and supported. Also if you are running on VM, that the VM has all parameters set according to Oracle's recommendations and if there is nothing suspicious there, you will have to open "Service request" at http://support.oracle.com
Hi I have problem with idle instance
When I trying:
sqlplus / as sysdba
I get result: Connected to an idle instance.
And when I try startup I get:
ORA-01078: failure in processing system parameters
ORA-01565 error in identifying file 'C:\oraclexe\app\oracle\product\11.2.0\server\dbs/spfileXE.ora
ORA-27041: unable to open file
ORA-04002: unable to open file
O/S-Error: (OS 2) File not found;
My system is Windows 8. Do you any idea how to solve it?
SOLUTION:
I have to startup using command:
startup pfile='<path to file>/init.ora'
and change all paths in init.ora where was
<ORACLE_BASE>
Thx for help
I've got that pain too.
To install Oracle XE you should login as local admin - NOT domain account.
This https://community.oracle.com/thread/2361291 made me happy :)
I just had the same problem.
You just have to start the setup to install the database as administrator.
After this and a reboot everything works fine.
I highly recommend reading the Oracle® Database 2 Day DBA manual, or hire a dba.
You are missing the init{ORACLE_SID}.ora, the parameter file which contains things like database name, controlfile locations. the init{ORACLE_SID}.ora is a text file that is edited with a regular text editor. This file can be converted to a spfile{ORACLE_SID}.ora that can be edited using a database instance. This is also a dynamic parameter file meaning that when you change parameters in an instance, the parameters can also be recorded in the spfile for later reuse.
For now add the db_name and control_files. Make sure that the contol_files parameter points to an existing controlfile[s]. If there are no existing control_file[s], just trash the initXE.ora, spfileXE.ora and start dbca, the Database Configuration Assistant and using that create a new database.
I have an Oracle instance with 8 users/schemas already but since late last week I am unable to create any new users on that instance. When I run the create user script it just keeps running....
This is a development box and I have full access to it. I am not a DBA so how do I troubleshoot to find out what the issue could be? and what could the issue be?
Here is the create user script:
create user usr_ARCHIVE identified by usr_ARCHIVEpw
default tablespace USERS
temporary tablespace TEMP
profile DEFAULT
quota UNLIMITED on USERS;
Please have a look at the user tablespace to see whether it has enough free space or not. I have faced similar issues in the past.
It's probably waiting or trying to obtain a lock. To determine what is going on you need to enable tracing. Before executing the create user statement, execute the following command:
alter session set events '10046 trace name context forever, level 12';
This will create a trace file in the trace directory. By default this is the same directory where the alert.log file is stored. Analyze the trace file and especially check for the lines that start with WAIT.
The problem was with another 10G TNSListener that was running. Once the 10G TNSListener was stopped and 11G Listener restarted the issue was resolved.
I have some simple VBA to import tables from multiple Oracle databases. I have one ODBC entry, and I connect to different databases using different credentials.
My transfer database code is simple:
DoCmd.TransferDatabase acImport, "ODBC", "ODBC;DNS=source;UID=user;PWD=pass;", acTable, "SomeRemoteTable", "MyLocalTable", True
That code works, but when I run the same command with a different user/pass immediatley after this command I get this error:
Run-time error '3011': The Microsoft Jet database engine could not find the object 'SomeRemoteTable'. Make sure the object exists and that you spell its name and the path name correctly.
Here's the catch:
The DNS, user credentials, and table names are correct. If I open access and comment either line out, then either transfer will run successfully. However, once one command runs, the other will not run until Access has been closed and reopened.
I'm guessing that there must be a way to close the first connection before proceeding to the next. Does anyone have any ideas on what I can try?
If the databases are owned by you how about setting up a dblink on one of them to the other ?
You will then only need 1 connection.
Im having some trouble with an oracle database. Every time i try to connect, i get this message.
ORA-01033: ORACLE initialization or
shutdown in progress
I searched the web, and found that the solution is to execute an alter database open command, but what I dont understand is where should i execute if, since I cant connect to the database.
Am I missing something?
Thanks in advance
You should connect AS SYSDBA:
sqlplus "sys/pwd AS SYSDBA"
An ORA-01033 would also be thrown if the connection attempt were made against a mounted standby database (Oracle Data Guard environment) by a non-sysdba user. Maybe a database role change (switchover or failover) has occurred since your last connection attempt.
Which OS are you using? The database is still shutting down - check the alert log as to the status of where it is at. Sometimes there are sessions hanging around that need to manually be killed off, there should be an indication of this in the alert log. It also depends how the database was shutdown, NORMAL, TRANSACTIONAL, IMMEDIATE. Even with a SHUTDOWN IMMEDIATE the sessions hanging around may still happen. To find the sessions on UNIX use the 'ps' to list all processes on the server ('ps -eaf' on Solaris) command and 'grep' for the ORACLE_SID name.
