(oracle) block corruption

Hi Everybody,
Recently, my site has a development database that encountered block corruption in the system tablespace. I have verified this by using Oracle utility DBVERIFY on the system datafile.
We have no backup at all for this development database. So database recovery from backup is impossible for us.
I understand that there's a package called DBMS_REPAIR that can be used to repair corrupted blocks. I tried using this, but the process failed because it could not access the system tablespace (which is corrupted) to create a table used by the package.
Does anyone know if I could overcome this problem and repair the corrupted blocks on the system tablespace?
Also, I would like to understand what are the possible causes of block corruption. My site's Oracle Server and databases are installed on Windows 2000 platform.
Please help answer my queries if you can. Thank you!

Iam sorry that I have not seen this posting until today .
When there is a block corruption export will fail with error.
The best method is to replace this file with a backup file and roll forward.

    Drop and re-creating the index would be better than re-building the index.

  • DATA BLOCK CORRUPTION : ORA-1578 해결 방법

    제품 : ORACLE SERVER
    작성날짜 : 2005-08-18
    DATA BLOCK CORRUPTION : ORA-1578 해결 방법
    =========================================
    모든 오라클 데이타 블럭은 sequence 번호(seq)와 incarnation 번호(inc)를
    갖고 있다. ORA-1578 에러는 seq=0 이고 inc <> 0 (새로운 블럭이 아님)일 때
    발생한다. ORA-1578 에러는 ORA-600[3339] 에러와 함께 발생하곤 한다.
    ORA-1578 에러가 발생하면 corruption이 발생한 화일 번호와 블럭 번호를
    알려준다. 여기서는 이 때의 화일번호를 f, 블럭번호를 b 라고 부르기로 한다.
    <해결 방법>
    1) 우선 해야 할 일은 어떠한 오브젝트가 corrupt 되었는가를 알아내는 것이다.
    다음의 스크립트를 이용하면 알 수 있다.
    SQL>select segment_name, segment_type
    from dba_extents
    where file_id = f and
    b between block_id and block_id + blocks - 1;
    2) 만약 해당 세그먼트가 인덱스이면 drop 시키고 다시 생성하면 된다.
    3) 만약 해당 세그먼트가 테이블이면 corrupt된 블럭의 데이타는 손상된 것이다.
    4) 만약 해당 테이블이 들어있는 export 화일이 있다면 손상된 테이블을 drop
    시키고 import 받는 것이 제일 간단한 방법이다. 하지만, 만약 export 받은
    화일이 없거나 backup해 놓은 화일도 없다면 해당 테이블에 인덱스가 생성되어
    있는 경우에 한해서 다음의 방법을 사용해서 복구를 하도록 한다.
    5) 해당 테이블에 대한 인덱스가 생성되어 있다면 이를 이용해서 corrupt된
    블럭을 피해갈 수 있다. 이 방법은 다음과 같다.
    - empno, ename, deptno 를 컬럼으로 가지는 emp 테이블이 corrupt 되었다고
    가정하자. 그리고, empno 컬럼에 인덱스가 생성되어 있다고 하자. 클러스터화
    되지 않은 모든 테이블은 Unique한 rowid를 가진다.
    rowid를 varchar2/hexadecimal 형식으로 표현하려면 rowidtochar 함수를 이용
    한다.
    SQL> select rowidtochar(rowid) from emp;
    rowid는 총 18자로 block address(8자), dot(1자), row address(4자),
    dot(1자), file address(4자)로 구성되어 있다.
    SQL> select empno, rowid
    from emp
    where empno > 0
    위의 스크립트를 실행시키면 다음과 같은 결과를 얻게 된다.
    EMPNO ROWID
    100 00000003.0000.0006
    101 00000003.0001.0006
    102 00000003.0002.0006
    103 00000003.0003.0006
    500 00000004.0000.000A
    501 00000004.0001.000A
    755 0000001A.0005.000A
    756 0000001A.000C.000A
    만약 인덱스가 character 컬럼에 대한 것이었다면 위의 query 문장을 다음과 같
    이 바꿀 수 있다.
    SQL> select empno, rowid
    from emp
    where empno > '';
    예를 들어 다음과 같은 에러 메시지가 떨어졌다고 하자.
    01578, 00000, "ORACLE data block corrupted (file # 10, block # 4)
    그러면, 다음의 스크립트를 사용하여 손상된 블럭에 있는 employee 에 대한
    empno를 구할 수 있다.
    SQL> select empno from emp
    where empno > 0
    and rowidtochar(rowid) like '00000004.%.000A';
    EMPNO ROWID
    500 00000004.0000.000A
    501 00000004.0001.000A
    이제 emp 테이블과 같은 구조를 갖는 새로운 테이블을 만든다.
    SQL> create table temp
    as select * from emp
    where 1 = 2;
    그런 다음 손상된 부분을 피해서 새로운 테이블에 손상된 테이블의 데이타를
    추가한다.
    SQL> insert into temp select * from emp where empno < 500;
    SQL> insert into temp select * from emp where empno > 501;
    손상된 테이블을 drop 시키고 temp 테이블의 이름을 emp로 변경한다.
    그리고, 백업된 자료나 문서 자료를 통하여 손상된 부분에 대한 정보를 추가한다.
    6) 손상된 블럭에 여러 개의 row가 존재하고 있다면 다음의 방법을 이용한다.
    SQL> create table empnos as
    select empno from emp
    where empno > 0
    and rowidtochar(rowid) not like '00000004.%.000A';
    이 스크립트를 이용하면 손상된 block에 포함되지 않는 empno들을 알 수 있다.
    다음의 스크립트를 계속 실행시켜 복구를 한다.
    SQL> create table temp as select * from emp where 1 = 2;
    SQL> insert into temp
    select emp.empno, emp.ename, emp.deptno
    from emp, empnos
    where emp.empno > 0
    and emp.empno = empnos.empno;
    7) 만약 Data Dictionary의 table이나 index에서 손상된 block이 발생했다면
    지원을 요청해야 한다.

  • 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:

    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)

    제품 : ORACLE SERVER
    작성날짜 : 2002-05-31
    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)
    ================================================
    ADMIN_TABLES 은 table 을 위한 repair table과,인덱스를 위한 orphan key
    tables을 제공한다.

  • 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:

    ORA-00235: control file read without a lock inconsistent due to concurrent update
    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 lot

    Can 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
    Aman....

  • Block Corruption in empty pages in Oracle 11g

    I am using Oracle 11.1.0.7.1 on HP UNIX 11i.
    On several occasions, I have been seen that block corruptions are reported by rman. I have never seen this problem in previous release of databases; but I have seen it more than once in Oracle 11g.
    However, when I run dbv command; I do not see any corruption in data and index blocks; so my conclusion is block corruption is in empty pages.
    Anyone has ideas why block corruption occurs in Oracle 11g. Has Oracle’s algorithm for checking block corruption have changed in 11g; I.e.; these corruptions existed in older Oracle releases but not reported by rman,
    Another strange thing I noticed:
    1.     When doing export backup, export backup reports about corrupted blocks.
    2.     When I do expdp no errors are reported.
    So question is why is exp command checking empty blocks?
    Any insights in above will be appreciated.

    Can some one explain following ooutput from dbv; what is difference in
    total pages failing and corrupt pages. I see
    total pages marked corrupt as 1345; yet I do not see any data or index
    pages marked corrupt; and there is only 1 empty page. So where are
    those 1345 corrupt pages.

  • ORA-01578: ORACLE data block corrupted on tables in sysaux tablespace

    Dear Experts,
    From the alert log file we noticed data block corruptions on one of our datafiles. After further investigation, we realized that the corruptions were on 3 of the AWR related tables in the SYSAUX tablespace:
    1. WRH$_LIBRARYCACHE
    2. WRH$_TEMPSTATXS
    3. WRI$_ALERT_OUTSTANDING
    The bad news is that we may not have a valid rman backup to do the recovery due to the retention policy - RECOVERY WINDOW OF 2 DAYS. Since this is a development database with limited monitoring, we did not discover the corruption until 6 days later. The issue happened about 6 days ago (about Christmas time).
    So, what are our recovery options? Can someone advice? We are thinking about drop and recreate the 3 affected v$WR* tables, but not quite sure about the impact to the system if we drop and recreate the 3 objects. Did someone experience this type of recovery. If you did, what are your approaches?
    We are running oracle 10.2.0.3 version.
    I greatly appreciate your input and suggestion. Thanks!!!

    as long as you have a backup of ur database before christmas, you can use the " MAXDAYS " cmd to get ur backup working so long as you have not used delete obsolote....had a same sistuation....where i had a backup and trying to restore it ...kept saying no valid backup...after going thru some stuff...found the MAXDAYS cmd to use my backup...here is an example ...
