Re: How to simulate Block Corruption?

Hi

If you are on a unix platform use dd to write to a datafile, this is what oracle uses in there Backup & Recovery Class. On NT find a freeware hex editor and edit the datafile !

I know that there are multible event in Oracle to write corrupt block's, but forget them and use brut force !
