Database Connection inconsistent

Hi,

When I am trying to extract the metadata from database or trying to establish database connection often
I am facing with the error.
OALL8 is an inconsistent state
Even at times its taking very long time to establish the connection or the eclipse hangs.
Can I know the reasons for such behaviour and also the solution for same
