It is possible to open the database in inconsistent mode using some hidden
parameters, but I'de recommend you talk to Oracle about that (open a SR).
And it is a messy business and it doesn't always work, and afterwards you
either end up with a database without transaction consistency or you have to
export the database and import into a new one and there's some weird
behaviour with the undo (you may get a 1555 even if you are not running a
consistent export). So, don't do this unless you are ready to spend a lot of
time messing around with hidden parameters, Oracle Support and export...

However, if this is for a data refresh purposes, just put the database in
backup mode and take a backup then for that refresh.

Oh, and by the way, I'd make a point of recommending the customer to move to
RMAN backups ASAP.
