Subject: Very Urgent .. Help pls..


Hi everyone

I have an Oracle 8i [ 8.1.7 ] database on Windows NT Server 4.0
when i tried to connect through SQL PLUS it is giving the error
"Oracle Initialization or Shutdown in Progress"
So i shutdown the database thru SVRMGRL. but when i am trying to apply
command "STARTUP FORCE" it is giving the following error..

SVRMGR> startup force
ORACLE instance started
Total System Global Area 73701404
Fixed Size 75804
Variable Size 56770560
Database Buffers 16777216
Redo Buffers 77824
ORA-00214: controlfile 'D:\ORACLE\ORADATA\RSERVER\CONTROL01.CTL' version
5176 inconsistent with file 'D:\ORACLE\ORADATA\RSERVER\CONTROL03.CTL'
version 5174
SVRMGR>

What is this error? how to solve it. I have not taken any backup of control
files..or database ?

Thanks in Advance..
