Hi Richard
There is no data in the corrupt blocks in the datafiles, so they are
empty. So do you think that the export will fail
because of empty corrupt blocks?

Hi Birkir,
You maybe forgetting that your export will fail once it comes across one of the corrupted blocks !!
You need to fix the corruptions which depends entirely on the nature of the corruption, what's actually corrupted, are the objects re-creatable, is the corruption in your backups (else restore and recover of datafiles could be an option), database version (dbms_repair), can you afford to lose the corrupted data, is it in a LOB (nasty but solvable), investigate block dumps, etc. etc.
I've fixed plenty of corruptions in my time and it's usually a case of horses for courses.
But exp/imp is unlikely to be your solution.
Good Luck

Hi
I hava a database with corrupt blocks. And I was thinking of exporting the database and then import it on another machine because of faulty hardware.
So isnt this the right approach for this, create the tablespaces, and users on the new database and then import from user to user?
Is there anything im forgetting?
Kind Regards Bippi
