Sorry for the fast reply, I forgot to mention _allow_read_only_corruption and _corrupt_blocks_on_stuck_recoveryall of them help in certain circumstances, but again, this is a case to call Oracle Support!
and at the end - export is the only thing you can use the DB for. Martin
Hi Eugene,next time, please do not shutdown the database in such a case As long as the DB is running, you can export as much data as is accessable.you can use _allow_resetlogs_corruption=TRUE - http://dba-oracle.fr/dba/content/view/14/1/ or ML-Note:418476.1 with this you will not get 100% guaranteed data. sorry, consistancy is lost!there are some other hidden parameters which can help in certain further circumstances.at last, if you have enough time to do so, ask oracle-support first (prio 1 call is quite fine in such a case, I guess)hth Martin -- Am 23.01.2009 um 21:31 schrieb Eugene Pipko:Hi all, I have a 9i on Windows2003 with no backup.Database was open while drive where redo logs resided was gone.
