Subject: Reading corrupted Datafiles offline  

Hi list,

assuming the following scenario:

No working Backup because of several reasons. Not all datafiles of the database
Corrupt blocks in the datafiles we have

So, as far as i know, there no way to restore the Database in any conventional
way.

My question is, is there any oficiall or unoficiall way to read the data from
the datafiles direct?

System ist Linux and Oracle 8.1.6(!)

We need not the total whole off the data but some important tables from one special tablespace.
I am aware of bad luck with the location of the corrupted blocks, but i will
give them a try ;-)

If you need more Information feel free to ask.

Thx in advance

 Jörg

Oracle has a consulting engagement where the consultant will bring a tool to unload the data into SQLLoader files. In the US the consulting engagement is $10,000 and X amount of hours.(a couple of years ago that is) Then it goes up from there on a time and material basis. THe tool does work and is quite fast. It doesn't work if the data is missing (eg data deleted and overwritten)

You need to call support and make the request. Jim
