ERROR at line 1:

ORA-01219: database not open: queries allowed on fixed tables/views only

Now what ? ? ? ? ? ? ?

To check the Database mode :

1) fire up : select open_mode from v$database

2) If its mounted then you need to fire up : alter database open

3) Thats it now you can fire any query you want . . . .

Enjoy 10g ,

Thank You
