List - Does anyone know how to relate a database row to the datafile where it is stored? Here is the situation: we are going to test the recovery of a database, removing a few data files and then recovering them from RMAN backup. These data files store image blobs out-of-line. I would like to be able to list a few images from a particular data file so after recovery we could retrieve those images. There are some queries for dealing with database corruption where you can take a given file and block and relate it back using dba_segments and sys.uet$. I'm not sure how to work for a specific row or with out-of-line blobs. Any ideas appreciated. Dennis Williams DBA Lifetouch, Inc.
