Hi Experts,

I have deleted all the records from the table.And I have commited.

Now I want to get all the records back.

How can we do that please help me.

SELECT * FROM your_table
   AS OF TIMESTAMP (to_timestamp('08-NOV-10 10:00:00','DD-MON-YY HH24: MI: SS'))


And have a look here.

Run the query for a few times - you must know about when you did it - and save the results. And be quick! You may already be too late....

If you are too late (because the undo has expired) then you could use the log miner (assuming that you are in archive log mode?)

You know roughly when you deleted the data don't you?
All you need is to use any time when the records existed.

When you query a table as of a specific point in time you get the data as it was at that point in time.
If the data was changed a lot and you want to get it as it was immediately before it got deleted then you are just going to have to try lots of different times and use the latest one for which the data sill exists.

If the data is still in the undo yes. If you're lucky it might still be there. If you waste hours asking us variations on the same question I can pretty much guarantee it won't be.
Thomas gave you the query - try it!

This is beginning to sound like a homework question. In which case you must review your understanding of the process:
A committed transaction can NEVER be rolled back. Through use of a flashback query you might be able to construct another transaction which will reverse the effect of the first transaction. But it might not work - can you think of reasons why not? There are several....

You are telling commited transaction is not roll backed.
But uncomited transaction we can rollback it directly.
But what is the advantage of Flash back.

To find out what state data was in at a particular point in time.
What's so difficult to understand about that?

And we are back in the beginning. The only option in Oracle 9.2 (you stated 9i as your Oracle version) is the flashback query, which was posted in the very first reply by ThomasG.

If this is the real problem, you are probably out of luck as the undo data is stored only for limited time period, which depends on some configuration and number and amount of transactions after that time. So, it still might be available.

If this is just some interview/exam preparation, what about reading the documentation from the links which were provided here?

There are some more options - importing a table from the (last) export file, or restoring it from the backup. There are certain disadvantages here (such as: you don't backup your database so - there's nothing to restore from; or, backup is rather old so you can't restore all records you deleted).

Another option would be to look into a possibly existing secondary backup.
