It only makes sure the redo/archive logs are cleaned from this corruption so that backups/standby work. No, From the note 7662491.8: "The fix prevents this corruption to be introduced in the redo and will not fix any existent corruption that is already introduced in the redo/archived logs. Meaning that if the patch is installed and a recovery is attempted again using the same archived logs, the error will be still produced." >> select from table would still give an error, wouldn't it ? Yes,Patch wouldn't fix anything that is already corrupt. Note suggests to use dbms_repair to skip corrupt blocks. >> There is no fix for the root cause ? Patch would fix the rootcause but that would be of help only in future. Regards, Saurabh Manroy On Tue, Nov 29, 2011 at 12:02 PM, <Laimutis.Nedzinskas@xxxxxx> wrote:.

ORA-600 [kghstack_free1] ORA-600 [kddummy_blkchk][6110/6129] [ID 861965.1] Hi listers I have problem reading the metalink Bug 7662491 and especially patch 7662491. Btw, we had a similar issue meaning this is not a theoretical interest of mine. Do I interpret the note correctly: the patch does not fix the corruption. It only makes sure the redo/archive logs are cleaned from this corruption so that backups/standby work. select from table would still give an error, wouldn't it ? There is no fix for the root cause ?
