The disk array with the database data files died completeley (disk failure and stripe corrpution). I have installed Oracle 8170 on a new box and have recovered a copy of the database from a backup. So from a business point of view we're up and running again. The ORACLE_HOME directory was still accessible so I copied all the files off to my PC hoping that I could find some file that would give me a definite answer as to which version it was. The server guys have now stripped the box and are rebuilding it so I have nothing other than the ORACLE_HOME files I copied off. (So the Registry is gone as well) On 28/06/07, Randy Johnson <randyjo@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> wrote:
So you don't have the original binaries and your database won't open. Is that correct?
