Hi All:
I have faced a very common problem but the reason how it was happened is mystery.lemme tell u that.
we lost some specific data from few tables in the production server database in which no tracing, audit and archive logs are available.
Thats it..i am dead... :))
can i find some help from the gurus that, is there anyway for me to find out when it was happened exactly,by whom etc.., using data dictionary views?
excuse me if i am innocent in asking this question. But pls do reply as soon as possible ...ocz its very urgent for me to figure it out this problem...
Thanks in advance

Log mining is your answer only if you suspect that the data changes just happened. The transaction might still be in the online redo log files. You must prevent log file switching by restricting access to the database and halt any DML activities. Possibly shutdown the database and make copies of your log files while reading up on log mining or configuring thereof.

Hi Jam:
Thanks for ur response.
Unfortunately, the server is not ruinning in archivelog mode. So i don't have that option of finding a solution.
But after reading ur response, i am wondering that is it possible to see the contents of the online redo log files using logmining?
Thanks in advance for ur response.
Thank you.
