QUESTION POSED ON: 14 January 2005
I've just installed an Oracle 8.1.7 Database on my PC (which runs Windows NT). After the installation, I log on to the database to create several additional tablespaces, I have no problem until then. When I restarted my PC, I couldn't get access the database anymore. ORA-27101 error appears since that moment.

EXPERT RESPONSE

27101, 00000, "shared memory realm does not exist"
// *Cause: Unable to locate shared memory realm
// *Action: Verify that the realm is accessible

You probably need to set your database service to start automatically. If it is started automatically, then you probably need to reconfigure the registry entries to set your SID to start automatically (since the service does not necessarily start an instance). If memory serves, you'll want to review the registry entries at HKLMSoftwareOracleHome0 and look for registry keys that have your ORACLE_SID name in them. One of them will be a Boolean (TRUE/FALSE) setting for whether or not to start the instance.
