Computer geek poem

Who said computer geeks can't write love poems.....


(Title unknown)
===========

I LOVE YOU MORE THAN MY COMPUTER Believe me it is true …

You installed the best in me.

Your picture is always in my background.

You clicked my heart gently.

You drive me crazy when I see you.

Your love reset my life and deleted all the sadness in me.

You restored my kindness after I thought it was corrupted.

I’m always connected to you with more than 56 heart beat per second.

You hacked my brain and registered your name in it.

You are the only one that could navigate my feelings and explore my
emotions at the same time.

I feel lost when I try to call you and you are not responding.

I always feel you close to me when I shut down my eyes, or when I open
my windows waiting for you to pass.

You are the only one that can log into my heart and never log out.

I dream of being your only server as long as I live.

You don’t have to search for me, cause we are always linked to each
others.

I see your name everywhere, my front page, my homepage and all my
software.

I scanned my life and found that I’m only infected by you.

You are the virus I’d never remove, and why should I do?

Believe me it is true…

I love you more than my CPU!!!!

ORACLE: ORA-01033 error

I am back as I promised, this time I will try to explain how to resolve ORA-01033: (I will be assuming that some how a data file was corrupted)

Login as sys

ORA-01033: ORACLE initialization or shutdown in progress

Enter user-name: sys as sysdba
Enter password :[password]


Shutdown Database

SQL> shutdown immediate;
ORA-01109: database not open
Database dismounted.
ORACLE instance shut down.


Startup Database (force)

SQL> startup force;
ORACLE instance started.

Database mounted.
ORA-01157: cannot identify/lock data file 116 - see DBWR trace file
ORA-01110: data file 116: 'data file name that is corrupted'


Drop the Corrupted Data file

SQL>alter database data file ‘data file name that is corrupted’ offline drop;

After dropping the corrupted file or files, it should be back to normal now just alter db open.

This is one of the scenarios that could prompt the ORA-01033: ORACLE initialization or shutdown in progress. Hope this helps you guys=ELK=
