Lost redo log, how can get database started?

My redo03 log is irretriveably lost. It is never coming back. It had no data in it that I needed. All the real data I have is backed up in an EXP file. I just want to start the DB. Is there any way, short of just reinstalling the whole DB that I can tell Oracle 9.2 to change rdeo logs or rebuild the lost log? I have tried every alter or recover command I can think of.

did you mean allowresetlogs_corruption, or is that first underscore a mistake?
In any event, can I actually accomplish anything by changing the init.ora.somelongnumber file (there is no init.ora file), or must I use the alter system command to change the spfile. I actually tried both. The alter system command won't allow the allow_resetlogs_corruption parameter. If I use the create command to build an init.ora file the beginning of every line in the created file has a couple of stray characters. Am I supposed to put them in front of the allow_etc stuff?
Can you give me the command for clearing the log files and the command for opening the database in resetlogs mode?
I wish I could figure out where this stuff is documented, if any of it is. Perhaps I'm missing some manual. I've looked on the OTN documentation pages for some help, but didn't find anything.
Long ago I worked for Oracle in Redwood City porting the database to IBM mainframes. When we ran into this kind of confusion I visited the kernel group with a large blunt object and just threatened them until I got some documentation. I'm too far away now.

(lost redo file or lost archive log)

    you are simulating a complete database scenario , which a dba always tries and practice but never wishes to happen to his production databases :)
    in a complete loss scenario, you will need openreset logs if you dont have your redo-logs
    if you have shutdown your database with abort before taking a full backup, that will also be a proble, oracle never reccomends using shutdown abort before a complete backup, shutdown immediate/transactional should be used to take a consistent backup.
    check these notes, they will be very helpfull

    Contact your carrier and the police. If it was lost in a specific building, ask the people running it.

  • How can get a database like ****.SQL file for test in sqlplus in oracle8i

    How can get a database like ****.SQL file for test in sqlplus in oracle8i,I am a beginner,thanks

    I'll give it a guess as to what it is you want but I'm afraid you'll have to give some more information to go on. I appreciate it's difficult for people who are beginners or who don't have English as their first language.
    Are you trying to run a SQL file? From SQL*plus you can do either of these:
    SQL> start my_file
    or
    SQL> @my_file
    N.B.: if th efile has a .sql extension you don't need to include it, but you do for any other file extension e.g.
    SQL> @myfile.run

    I synced my phone to my computer. When updated with iOS7.0.2 I lost all my contacts, photos and music. I lost everything? How can i get them back? Is there any backup?

    Everything should be on your computer.
    You should be syncing contacts and calendars with your comptuer regularly.
    You should be transferring all itunes purchases to your computer regularly.
    You should be importing all pics taken with iphone to your computer regularly.
    Most especially before any update.
    Have you failed to do this?

    If you have no record of it at your end, the only place you might find it is at Adobe's end via logging into your Adobe account and seeing if it is listed there.  If you registered the software it should be.
    Beyond that your only hope might be to have Adobe support check your information to see if the software/serial number is available and if it can be given to you.  Try contacting them by chat or telephone.
    Here is a link to a page with options to help make contact:

  • HT203167 i have a purchased hardcopy of dvd movie which included digital copy. i redeemed it last week and loaded it to my ipad3, this week it is gone from my ipad and is nowhere in itunes. how can get my paid-for copy now?

    i redeemed a copy of a DVD / Digital movie last week in itunes tohen synced it to my ipad(3) now it is gone and itunes
    won't let me redo. How can i get my digital copy again?

    Final Cut is a separate, higher end video editor.  The pro version of iMovie.
    Give iPhoto a look at for creating the slideshow.  It's easy to assemble the photos in an album in iPhoto, put them in the order you want and then make a slideshow of them.  You can select from various themes and transitions between slides and add music from your iTunes library.
    When you have the slidshow as you want use the Export button at the bottom of the iPhoto window and export with Size = Medium or Large.
    Save the resulting Quicktime movie file in your Movies folder.
    Next, open iDVD, choose your theme and drag the QT movie file into the menu window being careful to avoid any drop zones.
    Then follow this workflow to help assure the best qualty video DVD:
    Once you have the project as you want it save it as a disk image via the File ➙ Save as Disk Image  menu option. This will separate the encoding process from the burn process. 
    To check the encoding mount the disk image, launch DVD Player and play it.  If it plays OK with DVD Player the encoding is good.
    Then burn to disk with Disk Utility or Toast at the slowest speed available (2x-4x) to assure the best burn quality.  Always use top quality media:  Verbatim, Maxell or Taiyo Yuden DVD-R are the most recommended in these forums.
    The reason I suggest iPhoto is that I find it much easier to use than iMovie (except for the older iMovie 6 HD version).  Personal preferences showing here.

  • I just lost my iphone how can i lock it

    Hi i just lost my mobile. how can i change the password or permentlay lock out

    If you already set a passcode on your iPhone, and no one else knows what it is, you have no need to change a thing. No one can use it without your passcode.
    If you wish, go to iCloud.com, log in with your Apple ID and password, click the "Find my iPhone" icon, and you can remotely lock it from there.
