Re: DB recovery after OS crash, ORA-01210, ORA-01251

Hi

yes this is what Mogens Norgaard told us about what previous Oracle Support EMEA Vice President Andre Bakker said:

"I never tried the other suggestion Andre had (and which he had used many times himself): Create a dummy database that has the same datafiles as the problem database. Then take the file headers from the dummy database and patch on top of the real database. Then you can start up, since the information in the file headers match."

interesting suggestion and in the case of a crash and the thought of the DUL fees probably worth trying.

cheers

Pete
