Re: How to recreate sys schema in Oracle 8i?

Well, unfortunately, there was no DBA working at the shop.
Developers were handling the database.
The developer had open two sql connections, one with sys schema and another
with application schema.
Instead of running the dynamic script of delete all the objects in the
application, he accidentally ran in the sys schema.
I am sure, they gonna learned the lesson and will never do the again.

Thanks all for your valuable inputs.

Luckily, they had application schema logical backup (export). I did the
following and able to bring it everything back to normal business:

Created a new database.
Created application tablespaces.
Restore the application schema.

I am not sure whether procedure successfully completed or not. Can you
confirm ? Also Is the DB open ? If yes, try to see what sys objects are
missing. If I remember correctly, many sys objects can be dropped, but some
can't be. Hopefully, procedure was written without exception handlers and so
may have stopped in the middle.



You could possibly export what you need and then recreate or restore.

Hi,



Accidently, a developer ran a procedure to delete all objects exists in
SYS schema. His intention was to do the same to an application user, but, he
run it on sys schema.



In this situation, running catalog, catproc will help to stable the
situation?

I suspect that when catlog and catproc are run, there will no metada
available of existing uses, tablespace, datafiles and etc.

Is there any way to come out of this situation?



Any ideas?
