Here's the scenario - A backup was done of a database that had been shutdown
with the abort option. The redo logs (no archiving) are also backed up. The
controlfiles have since been lost.
Business request - Retrieve a schema that has since been dropped from the
database.
Attempted solution - restore the backups, open the db without performing recovery (resetlogs and readonly corruption allowed). Unfortunately, this resulted in an ORA-00600 when it attempted to read the SYSTEM datafile.
Does anyone have any ideas of how to open this db so we can get the data out of the schema? We don't care if it is not consistent.
All assistance is appreciated.
