When all hope fails – block recover, dbms_repair, etc. and before you enable skipping corrupt blocks, is there some utility that can show me what is in the block?Something like a hex reader, but since it is only one block, (and we are probably going to be getting rid of that data anyway), the method should be free. (For instance, I think dude (possible spelling) is something that could work, but for one block it would be overkill).Even if it is not free, you could let me know. I probably won’t get it, but the information would be useful, and the question has been raised.
