Oracle Database Recovery Problem
- by Palani
I am very new to Oracle, and trying to restore a oracle 8i database on win 2000 server.
I have one week old database backup (backup taken with exp command), and i want to restore it now.
Now I am unable to login through sqlplus (got shutdown in progress error)
I have a backup and i want to restore it, but oracle is not starting at all, and 'imp' command is failing.
I started sqlplus / as sysdba and following is the log of what i am trying to do. Can some one guide me further.
