This is by far the funniest thing I have ever done. I began running the create
database scripts (ON A TEST MACHINE) when the $ORACLE_SID was set to a currently
running database. It's now completely and totally hosed. I'm just wondering if
there is any possible way of recovering from this. I am just recreating the
database and reimporting the data - it's not a big deal, but for future
reference, I wonder if this really does mean THE END OF THE DATABASE AS WE KNOW
IT. My gut feel is YES.
I just can't stop laughing. I finish my OCP exams and completely TRASH a large database in the same day (and dump pink ice cream on my white sweater simultaneously)! Like Kirti said, Who *WANTS* to be a DBA? Are you out of your mind? you better be! Received on Wed May 24 2000 - 16:29:33 CDT
