Friends, I have got some questions regarding recovery. Let us assume i have full backup of the database with all archived logs.It's oracle 9.2.0.4/Aix5L. Case 1 ------ I have lost my undo tablespace during a batch job which does lot of update. - What will be the status of my batch job now ? - How will my transaction be rolled back if the undo tablespace is lost ? Case 2 ------ I have lost my temp tablespace during a batch job which does lot of sort/update. - What will be the status of my batch job and how do i recover by temp tablespace now ? - i can drop/create new temp tablespace, but which process takes care of rolling back the transaction and when it happens ? is it PMON that does the job ? Case 3 ------ I have lost an un-archived online redo log file.The proper recovery procedure is : - restore all datafiles from backup - mount the database - recover until cancel - open resetlogs Without restoring datafiles from backup,Can i do this : - mount the database - recover until cancel - open resetlogs I have posted all these questions after RTFM and referring some books.Can someone throw some light on this ? Thanks in advance. Prem. -- //www.freelists.org/webpage/oracle-l
