segment corruption--how to recover table?? [message #342767]

Hi all,
I have a small doubt,

** Pls consider a scenario where some segments in a tablespace get corrupted leading to the table getting in-accessible, with the database being in the NOARCHIVE mode and logical backups taken regularly.

** Is it possible to import the table from a dump and recover the table in this case or is it possible to repair the corruption?

** I thought of importing the table with destroy=y parameter is it possible?

Thanks,
Arun

It depends.
When did corruption occur?
When was corruption detected?
How far back are exports retained?
Are you willing to accept lose of any data since corruption occurred?

>** I thought of importing the table with destroy=y parameter is it possible?

Answer above.

Hi Ana,
Well, this is just an imaginary scenario that i thinked of Smile

, well suppose say after a full export, the corruption occurs, can we make use of the exported dump file and import?

Also say i am not willing to accept loss of data, what can be done?

Thanks,
Arun.

OK, I would have prepared & had tested recovery procedures and executed these procedures.
No problems & all data was recovered.

An export is not a backup, you can't recover from an export, the only thing you can do is to restore the data that are in the dump file.

Hi arunshrish,
Anacedent is correct.
If you are running in the database in Noarchivelog mode and have only the export dump then the recovery could not be possible to the point of failure.

So Michel,does it mean that we can restore the table data and it is the least possible thing that we can do? Anyways should the destroy=y parameter be used while restoring table data by the method of import?

"destroy" parameter is for CREATE TABLESPACE statement, it has nothing to do with schema import.

You can nothing more that importing xhat's inside the dump file. Before import, drop or truncate the tables.
