You might try using strings on the system datafile that holds source$. Depending on how big the package was, you may be able to see it. Oracle doesn't remove the data, it just marks the space free. something like: $ strings system01.dbf | more then search for a word unique to the dropped package. If that doesn't work, restore only the system and rollbacks tablespaces to another location, offline drop all other files, and open the (mini-clone) database. -- Jeremiah Wilton http://www.speakeasy.net/~jwilton On Fri, 3 Sep 2004, David wrote: > I accidentally dropped a package body frok production. > Outside of RMAN backups, there is no copy of this body. > I tried use flashabck query at the session level and export level, but for > somereason even though the command/exp succeeds, I still get the wrong or > new body. > Any ideas? > Can I use logminer to retrieve a dropped package body? -- To unsubscribe - mailto:oracle-l-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx&subject=unsubscribe To search the archives - //www.freelists.org/archives/oracle-l/
