Home -> Community -> Mailing Lists -> Oracle-L -> Re: Recovery of table from hot-backup - HELP
Fred,
If you have the disk space available on a server why not create a new =
instance that will hold the tables you need and then copy the data to the =
new tables. You can use a database link for the copy and the access of the =
data storred in the tables.

DBAs, (I'm usually just a reader of this list, but here's a go at being =
a=20
poster for once!!!)
I have a question for you DBAs out there that run VLDBs and have =
some=20
good experiences with them. I have hit my max on db_files and maxdatafiles=
=20
and need to free up some files by deleting a few tables. (I can not=20
shutdown the database to recreate the controlfile to increase these =
values).=20
I want to delete a large table I have that spans 10 partitions that =
are=20
each in their own datafile (thus freeing up 10 files). I have a full =
backup=20
from the first of the month. I want to truncate and drop the table as =
well=20
as each of the OS files making up each partition. MY QUESTION IS: If =
I=20
need emergency access to this table again at a later date is there any =
way=20
that I can pull it from this full backup?? (The table is too large to=20
export)
I would assume there is no way since dropping the table would update =
the=20
control file to reflect this change and would eliminate the ability to=20
"restore" any object. Is this also true had the table been in read-only=20=
mode??
Thanks a lot,
-Fred Smith
