Problem in Oracle

[Shanmugam Karthikeyan]

Hi.
Since my database was very slow ,
I executed this following query
"select * from v$logfile"
after executing i found three files namely
d:\Oracle\.. \REDO01.LOG
d:\Oracle\.. \REDO02.LOG
d:\Oracle\.. \REDO03.LOG
"The mistake which i didnt was , i just deleted those files.. hoping that my database performance will boot up."
"But now after deleting and restarting the oracle
iam getting the following error"
"ORacle initializatrion or shutdown in progress"
I know that i have done a mistake, So let me know the ways by which i can bring back my database to normal"
"Iam using Oracle 9i and windows 2000 server"

IT IS VERY VERY URGENT

regards
S.Karthikeyan

Through Oracle Enterprise Manager you should be able to look at the database properties. Take the database offline. At that point attempt to create new redo log files. These keep transaction based information and must be there for database operation.
