Good day...

One of our programmer/user accidentally truncated 2 tables in production. The dB is in NO ARCHIVELOG MODE.

How can we restore records of the 2 tables?

Please help.

Thank you.

If you have a cold backup of the database you could restore that backup to another location and get the data at the point of that backup from that new database.

Otherwise it's definitely gone. And since truncate is DDL not DML it doesn't write redo entries, so it wouldn't have helped to be in archivelog mode either.

In archivelog mode, you could restore the database (in an auxiliary location) up to the point before the truncate then export the table and import it in the original db.

That's true. Without archivelog you can only restore the point of the last cold backup (if you have one) to the other location and import from that.

Guys,

Thanks for your responses.

Now I know what's our db status currently.
Our last resort is the restoration of backup
last April 15.

Again many thanks.

There is no reason to register it.

correct you'll have to restore from a cold backup. if you have one. there's no way to recover the data beyond that.
