This morning I got a CD full of data files from a remote client database server that went belly up. This production database (8.1.5 on NT) was put together by a group of developers with no backups setup. They sent the CD to me in hopes that I could recover the database. I laid the files down on my NT laptop and got the database up. I went to execute an export and got ORA-01578. I executed DBV against a few of the data files. The SYSTEM tablespace has 18 corrupt blocks and USERS has over 80 corrupt blocks. Just about every query against the dictionary is returning ORA-01578. For example, I get ORA-01578 when I try to figure out the object name for a corrupt block.

So now I'm trying to figure out what my options are. I'm scanning books and Metalink, but I'm not finding much. Am I missing something? Help?

Many TIA.

Chris
