Block corruption nologging
Hi,
Db :11.2
Some of the blocks are corrupted on the database.It shows nologging in corruption_type column in v$database_block_corruption.
It's a test envirnoment,archive not enabled.
Should i restore old backup? or any other way to solve it.
Reagards,
Raj
NOLOGGING corruption seems to be a largely misunderstood phenomenon.
Normally, all data changes are logged to the redo log. Oracle logs the "change vectors" to the redo log. In the event of a corruption, you restore the datafile from a backup, and then apply archivelogs to the datafile, to apply all the changes from the time of the backup until the time of the corruption. The idea is, you're "playing back" the transactions that were recorded in the redo logs. Oracle will apply all changes from all archived redo logs, and then all changes from the online redo logs. In this way, you can recover up to the last committed transaction.
Now, in the event of a NOLOGGING operation, Oracle does *not* record your change in the redo log. Instead, it only writes extent invalidation records. During normal operation, this is ok, as NOLOGGING changes are written directly to the datafile. But, what happens if you do a recovery, from a backup taken *before* the NOLOGGING operation? Well, when the archived redo log is applied, and it gets to the point where the NOLOGGING operation took place, there's no data recorded in the redo log. Instead, it writes those extent invalidation records. So, there's no error at recovery time, but then, when you try to access data in that block, you get an ORA-26040 "Data was loaded using the NOLOGGING option". Oracle has no choice, cause the data is simply not available.
So, the only real solution is to reload the data. If it's an index, it's easy, simply rebuild the index. If it's a table, it may be more problematic. You'll need to truncate the table, and reload the data. If it's a partitioned table, you should be able to only truncate and reload the affected partition(s).
Finally, how to avoid this situation in the future? Well, all you need to do is make sure you schedule a backup *after* you complete your NOLOGGING data loads. Keep in mind, in a NOLOGGING data load is written directly to the datafiles, so if you take a backup after the NOLOGGING load is complete, then you'll have that data in the datafiles that were backed up. No need to apply those logs w/ the NOLOGGING extent invalidation records, cause they will be older than the datafiles.
Hope that's clear,

Old corrupted blocks in nologging mode.
Dear All,
I m facing issue of block corruption, when I check through select from v$database_block_corruption it shows total 511 blocks corrupted and below is one result. This are old one and not having backup for the same.
But when I validate the backup it shows no error. How to resolve this.....
FILE# BLOCK# BLOCKS CORRUPTION_CHANGE# CORRUPTIO
11 3638851 6 5.4254E+12 NOLOGGINGthe RMAN backup validate to check block corruption will return if any ACTIVE DB blocks are corrupted or not. So to my knowledge the corrupted blocks u have are not being used by the DB for any read/write hence RMAN backup is not returning an information about the block corruption. The DBverify is an old version if RMAN did not find the corruption then DBVerify will also not return anything. So if RMAN des nt return any block corruption then you will not have any DB outage.

From the SAP Market place we have found one KBA (1812719 - Avoid NOLOGGING during the index creation) which says that it was not really a corruption and it can be cleared by rebuilding the index.
Can any one please help us how to find the index present in that block. I have tried with below command which returns no rows.
SQL> select segment_name, partition_name, segment_type, block_id, blocks from dba_extents where (516877 between block_id and (block_id + blocks - 1)) and file_id = 137 and rownum < 2;
no rows selected

Please suggest how to find the index for rebuilding the same for clearing the corruption.
Thanks

Data block corrupted on standby database (logical corruption)
Hi all,
we are getting the below error on our DRSITE,it is MANUAL PHYSCIAL STANDBY DATABSE...
The following error has occurred:
ORA-01578: ORACLE data block corrupted (file # 3, block # 3236947)
ORA-01110: data file 3: '/bkp/oradata/orcl_raw_cadata01'
ORA-26040: Data block was loaded using the NOLOGGING option
I have checked in the Primary database, that there are some object which are not being logged into the redo logfiles.....
SQL> select table_name,INDEX_NAME,logging from dba_indexes where logging='NO'
TABLE_NAME INDEX_NAME LOG
MENU_MENUS NUX_MENU_MENUS_01 NO
MENU_USER_MENUS MENU_USER_MENUS_X NO

TABLE_NAME INDEX_NAME LOG
OT_MEM_FEE_COL_DETL IDM_MFCD_MFCH_SYS_ID NO
OM_STUDENT_HEAD IDM_STUD_COURSE NO
13 rows selected.
so the main problem is in the OM_EMPOYER tables if i would delete the indexes from that table recreate it again with the logging clause,and then apply the archvied logs to the DRSITE.WILL THE problem will resolve.
Pls suggest me...Hi..
Firstly how did you confirm that it was that index only.Can you post the output of
SELECT tablespace_name, segment_type, owner, segment_name
FROM dba_extents WHERE file_id = 3 and 3236947 between block_id
AND block_id + blocks - 1;
This query can take time, if are sure that its the index don't fire this command .
Secondly, when you will drop and recreate the index, it will be logged into the redo logfile.This information will be be logged in to an the archivelog file as its the replica of the redo logfile. Then when you apply this archive log maually, it will drop that index and then recreate it using the same sql.

RMAN-05009: Block Media Recovery requires Enterprise Edition
Could some one help me in providing solution for this . we we have standard addition only .
Thanks in advance ...It appears that there was a NOLOGGING operation on an object that resides in '/db/gist1/data/gist1_gis_nologging_01.dbf' .
NOLOGGING operations, as the name suggests, do generate limited redo log, which makes the objects affected by them non-recoverable.
RMAN Blockrecover, as far as I understand, uses full and archivelog backup to perform the block recovery. Since the archivelog backup does not store any changes related to the NOLOGGING operation, then Blockrecover would not be able to help you even if you were licensed.
You can try to restore the object as of the most recent full backup…

Impact on import if there is a block corruption error in exported dump file
Hi All
I got an exported file(exp utility) from production database and in the log it is showing the error
EXP-00056: ORACLE error 1578 encountered
ORA-01578: ORACLE data block corrupted (file # 29, block # 387036)
ORA-01110: data file 29: '+ORAFILES/prod/datafile/data.1750.715846723'
ORA-26040: Data block was loaded using the NOLOGGING option
There were two such errors. At the end of the export it is giving the message "Export terminated successfully with warnings"
I want to if I do an import using imp will there be any issues with the import.
will the import complete successfully.
The database version is 10.2.0.2.0
Regards,
Samrat
Edited by: Samrat Kumar on May 18, 2010 11:23 PMYou may try the import and hope it works out, but you and your DBA should address the ORA-26040 error message. Identify the segments that relate to both errors you encountered (using file id and block number) and figure out the what you may want to do if those are not index segments. Here is a link to a similar issue:

Hi All
Is there any specific reason or what have possible to cause on the data block corruption in the oracle database.Block corruption is while the data is being written to the data blocks, if the write to the block fails abruptly, I mean that there is a partial write in the block, may be because of power disruption or I/O problem, leaving no time for header to be updated, or row data to be populated, oracle leaves the block corrupt.In case of block corruption you can normally use the database unless you try to read that particular block, against which it shoots up the block corruption error.Generally block corruption occurs if write fails on the block, when the transaction is being committed
ORA-01578:
ORACLE data block corrupted (file # string, block # string)
Whenever we encounter above error message mean we have BLOCK CORRUPTION.
We can find detail information about block corruption in alert.log file
Two types of block corruption can happens
- Physical corruption (media corrupt)
- Logical corruption (soft corrupt)
Physical corruption can be caused by defected memory boards, controllers or broken sectors on a hard disk;
Logical corruption can among other reasons be caused by an attempt to recover through a NOLOGGING action. -

Need advice on ORA-01578: ORACLE data block corrupted
We have a development database server version- 10.2.0.3 with materialized views refresh as complete every morning. Yesterday we had a power failure and the server went down and database was shutdown unexpectedly.
When we restarted the database after the server restarted, we found some of the datablocks got corrupted . Following were the exceptions that we saw in the alert.log.
Errors in file /i01_01/app/oracle/product/10.2.0/db_1/admin/orcl9/bdump/orcl9_smon_7547.trc:

OWNER
SEGMENT_NAME
SEGMENT_TYPE
VISH
INVENTORY_TXN
TABLE
where " INVENTORY_TXN " is a materialized view that was using the block that got corrupted. I can always recreate the MV by dropping and recreating it. Will it solve the problem???
If not, how can I recover/repair the block.???
Can anyone advice on this. Thanks very much in advance.To recover a corrupted block,the best way out is to use Blockrecover command of RMAN. So you would need RmAN backup to perform the operation.But first ypu you need to ensure that this is a persistent error or not? Is this error is coming repeatedly or just once it happened?

BLOCK CORRUPTION (ORA-1578) 처리 (ORACLE 8I NEW FEATURE)
========================================================
PURPOSE
Block Corruption의 처리 방안에 대해 알아본다.
Problem Description
block corruption 시 10210, 10211,10231 의 event 를 사용해서
해당 block 을 skip 할 수도 있지만 V8.1 이상에서는
dbms_repair.fix_corrupt_blocks ,
dbms_repair.skip_corrupt_block 를 이용하여
corrupt가 발생한 block을 detect하고 skip, 또는 repair해주는 방안이
제시되고 있다.
Workaround
Solution Description
- 먼저 detecting 을 위해 db_block_checking =true 를 init.ora 에 set
- dbms_repair 의 package 를 사용하는데 이 package 는 dbmsrpr.sql,
prvtrpr.plb를 수행한다 .
- sys 로 접속하여 package 를 실행한다.
다음의 예제를 살펴보자
T1 테이블에 corrupt 된 block 이 있다고 가정한다.
SQL> desc t1
Name Null? Type
COL1 NOT NULL NUMBER(38)
COL2 CHAR(512)
SQL> analyze table t1 validate structure;
analyze table t1 validate structure
ERROR at line 1:
ORA-01498: block check failure - see trace file
이때 ANALYZE로 부터 발생된 trace file 에 corrupt 된 block 에 3 row 의
(nrows = 3) data 가 있음을 알수 있다고 가정하자.
DBMS_REPAIR.ADMIN_TABLES (repair and orphan key)

Diff between logical and physical block corruption
What is the difference between Physical and Logical block corruption.
Dbverify utility, analyze command is used to check the logical block corruption not the physical one am i correct??
When i get
ORA-01578: ORACLE data block corrupted (file # 9, block # 13)
ORA-01110: data file 9: '/oracle/dbs/tbs_91.f'
ORA-01578: ORACLE data block corrupted (file # 2, block # 19)
ORA-01110: data file 2: '/oracle/dbs/tbs_21.f'
How to conform that this a logical or physical block corruption???
please through some light regarding this....

System datafile block corruption - no backups and database in NOARCHIVELOG mode
Dear All,
Database version - oracle 11.1 Enterprise
OS - RHELinux 5.8
What are the options of recovering from physical block corruption when there are no backup available to perform block media recovery?
V$DATABASE_BLOCK_CORRUPTION reports two segments corrupted (please see attached image for details).
1 table in system datafile - sys_fba_barrierscn
1 index - (applicaiton index)
What are my options?
I know there is a possibility that the database will not restart after a shutdown due to corruption in system tablespace.
Database is in noarchivelog mode. So online backups are not possible and there aren't any full backups either.
I am thinking of below,
1. Run dbms_repair with fix_block_corruption. - Still database startup might fail?
2. Shutdown the database and take offline full backup with RMAN MAXCorrupt option.
Appreciate your suggestions and advises.
Thanks
StefanThanks Sybrand,
Agree with your first two suggestions .
Also scheduled a expdp job tonight. (Only backup like thing they had was a expdp cron, but until today all the large tables were failing due to small undo_retention).
Yes. Flashback is not used. So hopefully it will not affect the a database restart i guess?
Related to dbms_repair, I was referring to - http://askdba.org/weblog/2010/08/physical-corruption-ora-1578-part-3/.
Where DBMS_REPAIR.FIX_CORRUPT_BLOCKS and DBMS_REPAIR.SKIP_CORRUPT_BLOCKS used.
Which i think will not use any redo.
Thanks

Oracle 11g - How to repair block corruption(on free space) in datafile
Hi,
I have a tablesopace with 3 datafiles, out of which one datafile has corrupted block. But no objects or data is affected as the corrupted block os in free space. This was shown in the alert logs.
Please see below the details:

Fri Apr 01 14:57:58 2011
================================================================
The corruption is being reported in a free space block of the ORDER_DATA_01.DBF.
I’ve checked all the tables (and indexes) in this tablespace and none report corruption.
=====================================================Is there any action I need to take to remove corruption at this point?It is not affected any operation on the database yet.
What is the best way to do get rid of the corrupt block, without dropping and rebuillding the full tablespace(which is around 6 GB -total of 3 datafiles)
Thanks a lotCan RMAN recover the datablock from this cold backup(which is a week old, the data file was not corrupted then) ?Please note that to do the recovery, you would need the backup and the archivelog files since the backup. Think about what you are asking to do. Its a single block whose recovery you are asking from a week old backup which obviously would be on an much older SCN compared to the rest of the database. How would you make that block consistent with the rest of the datafile. If you don't have archivelog in that db whose block is corrupted, you may forget that block and any data that it might ever had. Also, please read the documentation about the block recovery which explains the requirements very clearly,
http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E11882_01/backup.112/e10642/rcmblock.htm#BRADV89784
From the above link, 1st point,
The target database must run in ARCHIVELOG mode and be open or mounted with a current control file.HTH

How do you fix data block corruption in a Table?
Is the some way to retrieve the data from the Table drop it then recreate and reimport the data?
or do you have to succumb with restoring the Database from the last known good backup?Hey, you can do the BMR (Block Media Recovery).
Since block corruption is to few subsets of blocks, i.e. a single table, you dont need to restore from the previous valid backup, you can simply do the following to achieve BMR.
Connect to rman and run the following:
run{ backup validate database};
Once the above commend is finishes, exit from RMAN and connect to the database as / as sysdba and use the following view to know the details required for BMR.
select * from V$backup_corruption;
The above queries gives you file# and block# information. Once you have the information do the BMR using following command at the RMAN prompt:
run {blockrecover datafile # block #};
# : indicated the datafile number and block number from the above view.
Let me know if you have any further issues.
You can also use view V$DATABASE_BLOCK_CORRUPTION to view the file# and corrupted blocks information.
