RE: No redo or archived log files

Well if all he really has is *current* on line files then he's dead. He needs some copy of the database that has been shutdown cleanly and so has all comitted data on disk. His current online copy presumably won't start because he can't meet that condition. With the database knowing that the current SCN is not entirely available, you are not going to get that set of files open without serious magic. Oracle support might know how but I doubt it.

Yes it is my understanding he does not have any online redo or archive logs current or backups. He just has current datafiles where the database will not start because of no online redo so I can assume those have been lost,corrupt,etc.

Thanks

His last cold backup of the datafiles is his only option. Without the online redologs, assuming that he lost the physical files, he will have to create a controlfile with the resetlogs option and open the database in the same mode. Is my assumption true? Was he backing up only data files and the database was in archivelog mode?

Hi All,

One of my friends has a database crash. He has no backup of online redo and archived log files. His question is How do you recover the database if all the online redologfiles and all archived files are lost ?

Don't ask me why he did not have any backups or mirror online redo.

Thanks
Rick
