Error: ORA-01033 ORACLE initialization or shutdown in progress
For some reason which I don’t know why, my oracle give me that kind of error.
Googling give me for below solution. And here I post for my future reference, and also for you if you got this same problem . 
Run this command first in console.
sqlplus /nolog
And after that, use these commands :
SQL> connect / as sysdba
Connected.
SQL> shutdown abort
ORACLE instance shut down
SQL> startup nomount
ORACLE instance started.
SQL> alter database mount;
SQL> alter database open;

DROP TABLE IF EXISTS MyTable
In Oracle, you can’t do that.
Solution that I found is to create a procedure and execute it.
As for my reference and others (if any) here is the script to create that procedure.
