We have a table whose rows were deleted by a developer some time ago.(Faulty codes...)

He deleted the table in the morning and we came to know about it in the Afternoon.

We were able to restore the table from the backup by first restoring the tablespace to the point just before the disaster & took the backup of the table & again restored the tablespace up to the last transaction and then recreated the table.
This caused some down time due to which our manager was not so happy with us.

I just want to know ( The Logic) if there is any way by which we could have recovered this table without taking any down time.

This happened on database 9i R2. My platform is RHEL4.

Hi,

One possible workaround is :

1. Create New (dummy) database with production last valid backup.
2. export that particular table from dummy created database
3. import that table in production database.

Taj

In addition to Mohammad Taj,

1)Check your recycle bin to see if table exist there or not. Most probably it will be there and you will be so much lucky.

2)And if you enable your flashback feature then dropping table!! Don't worry. You can flashback it .

From backup restore whole tablespace is really cumbersome.

Check out two above scenario and take action.
