Open database failed

Question

Hi
I found my database (Oracle 9i Spatial) is mounted. When I try to open it, I got the following message:
ORA-00313: open failed for members of log group 1 of thread 1 ORA-00312:
online log 1 thread 1:'C:\...\ORADATA\DB!!\REDO01.log'
Thanks, Helen

Answer 1

When you try to open the database you receive the following errors:
ora-313 open failed for memebers of log group 2 of thread 1.
ora-312 online log 2 thread 1 'filename'
It is not possible to recover the missing log, so the following needs
to be performed -
Mount the database and check v$log to see if the deleted log is current;
-If the log is not current, simply drop the log group (alter database drop
logfile group N).
If there are only 2 log groups then it will be necessary to add another
group before dropping this one.
-If the log is current they should simply perform fake recovery and then
open resetlogs
connect / as sysdba
startup mount
recover database until cancel;
(cancel immediately)
alter database open resetlogs;
Remember, database need to be in archivelog mode.
