You probably have an auto-start of the database when your Solaris sparc
boots up. This is usually in the /bin/init.d or /sbin/init.d directory.
Look for "dbstart" or "oracle" files.
If you do not want this to happen, you should change your "/etc/oratab"
file and put an "Y" next to the instances you DO want to come up, or a "N"
next to those that you do not.

You cannot start "PL/SQL". I assume that you mean "SQL*Plus". Check your
environment variables, most notably ORACLE_SID, ORACLE_HOME, and PATH. Be
sure that $ORACLE_HOME/bin is in the path, so that the sqlplus executable
will be found.
As for "Table or view doesn't exist", what table is this? Which file did
you run to create the profile? Most scripts DROP the table/view and then
CREATE the table/view. Thus, if it is the first time you run the script,
you will get a "Table/view does not exist" followed by a "Table/View
created."
