Home -> Community -> Mailing Lists -> Oracle-L -> From row to datafile
List - Does anyone know how to relate a database row to the datafile where
it is stored? Here is the situation: we are going to test the recovery of a
database, removing a few data files and then recovering them from RMAN
backup. These data files store image blobs out-of-line. I would like to be
able to list a few images from a particular data file so after recovery we
could retrieve those images. There are some queries for dealing with
database corruption where you can take a given file and block and relate it
back using dba_segments and sys.uet$. I'm not sure how to work for a
specific row or with out-of-line blobs. Any ideas appreciated.
