Paula, Did you have any nologging operations on the data that was recovered? If so, it's possible that your data is still logically corrupt, even after successful recovery. -Mark -- Mark J.

However, we recovered to an earlier point (few hours earlier) and on the "earlier" database we have no errors in a specific function of the application in the "later" one we have errors. We have been beating our hands against the brick wall doing comparisons of the data - the comparisons - table by table, column by column look okay. We have been working on this issue round-the-clock for days. Questions: A-Can an index be somehow causing this problem and can we use validate structure or something to be sure of the validity of the index? - analyze table validate structure...cascade... B-Can there be missing characters (characters we cannot visually see) causing the problem and can a "MINUS" find it if there is? :) Thanks, Paula ________________________________ New Yahoo!
