ORA-01501: CREATE DATABASE failed

使用dbca建库时遇到ORA-01501: CREATE DATABASE failed这个错误，检查告警日志，发现有下面错误信息：

SMON: enabling tx recovery

从错误信息看，后台进程"QMNC"没有启动，后台进程"QMNC"启动失败，检查对应的跟踪文件，发现ORA-00020: maximum number of processes () exceeded，也就是说因为processes超了，导致后台进程无法启动。

仔细检查后，发现我设置的参数process的值为150，但是在连接模式（Connection Mode）里给了Shared Servrer给了一个很大的值（当时一边操作，一边接电话，把这个值误当成session的值），所以导致后面一系列错误。重新正确设置Shared Servrer值，然后用DBCA建库，问题解决！
