Home -> Community -> Mailing Lists -> Oracle-L -> RE: New Oracle Install and Old Data Files
The datafiles contain the tablespaces which contain the data for the tables, indexes, etc. If she has all the datafiles, then she'll have access to all the data. I haven't tried it, but this should work for the system tablespace as well.

But does she just want the old tablespaces or does she want the tables and indexes that were in those tablespaces? I don't think that simply recovering the tablespaces will recover the tablespace contents, though it is the way to start.
Doesn't Oracle have a recovery tool -- pay big bucks, they come in and recover your database and then remove the tool -- that will do this?

Please

Regina,
Yes there is - but you probably don't want to do it yourself if you're not
a
DBA ...
do a backup control file to trace:
alter database <database> backup controlfile to trace;
shut down the database and modify the sql in the file you created so it contains the information for the tablespaces you need.
use the sql file to start up the database
hopefully everything starts ok. Can't guarantee what happens to integrity, etc. if you don't have all the tablespaces.

Okay People,
I am not the DBA and don't have all the details but this is our situation the way it was explained to me:
We had a server crash to the point where Unix and Oracle had to be reinstalled, however the disks containing our data tablespaces (that is, everything but the system tablespaces) are still good, and apparently for several reasons, we have not had a good backup for at least a week. Is there anyway to get a new Oracle install to recognize old tablespaces?
TIA, Regina
