Recovering 10g database

I am running oracle 10g standard edition on an XP Pro system.
All was installed and working well, until XP became infected by a virus. This required a complete reinstall of XP. I now have the system back up and running.
Oracle has gone and needs to be reinstalled (although the original files are still there). The database files are all intact (all 20GB of them). I have a backup of the data but it is over 1 month old.
Is there any way I can (re)install Oracle 10g BUT ask it to recognise and reconnect to the existing oracle database files? I would like to point the new instance of Oracle to the exisintg USERxx.DBF datafiles to recover the data.
Cheers,
Mark

Of course you can do it
Follow these steps:
1. Install Oracle Server and create Oracle Database with name as old database was
2. Copy your datafiles and control files to new system
3. Edit pfile.ora file, show correct controlfiles destination in it
and then try to open your database
SQL>STARTUP NOMOUNT PFILE='your_pfile.ora';
SQL>STARTUP MOUNT;
SQL>ALTER DATABASE OPEN;- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

Restore and recover Oracle 10g database from tape.

I have a very basic question for restore and recover Oracle 10g database. Our envirnment settings are:
Oracle 10g on Unix, daily database and archivelog backup to Vista NetBackup server. Retention policy is 2. Old backup files are copied from NetBackup server to the tape for record keeping.
I want to restore a database to a point in time. Because our retention policy is setup to 2. The backup files I need have been copied to the tape. So I should ask SYSTEM ADMIN to copy the backup files back to NetBackup server disk or I can ask him to copy backup files to the Unix server that host my Oracle 10g database. Then I can use Rman to do restore and recover. Is this doable? I know normal procedure is to copy backup files I need back to NetBackup server disk, not directly back to database server. Please put your comments here as early as better. I do appreciate your kind help.

Are you using catalog or nocatalog?
If the backup information is out of retention, Catalog them again also in netbackup.
So that you can able to restore database directly without copying those files to host.

Recover Standby Database suggests wrong filename

Hi,
I am running Oracle Database 10g Release 10.2.0.3.0 - 64bit Production Standard Edition on Linux version 2.6.9-42.0.8.ELsmp ([email protected]) (gcc version 3.4.6 20060404 (Red Hat 3.4.6-3))
I've created a physical standby database, but since I am running Standard Edition, I am not using the DataGuard features. I use the rsync utility to copy over the archivelogs to the standby database, and I apply them periodically to the standby database.
The standby database is started this way :
startup nomount pfile='/u01/oradata/orcl/initorcl.stdby';
alter database mount standby database;
And the archives are applied this way :
recover standby database;
AUTO
(AUTO for the command to apply all available archive logs automatically, using the suggested paths and filenames)
My problem is that once in a while (maybe once every 2-3 weeks), the suggested filename does not have the same format as the rest of the time. I then have to manually specify the correct filename and it goes fine after that.
Example :
In this example, you will see that it is first looking for sequence 22907 (o1_mf_1_22907_5n3m1xrf_.arc), then 22908 (o1_mf_1_22908_5n3m4kf0_.arc) [Notice the format of the file name] and then tries to look for sequence 22909, but looks for filename ".o1_mf_1_22909_5n3md1h5_.arc.qXMz5s"

Can someone explain to me why is this happening please ?
Thanks a lot,
Mat

@fjfranken
Yes. If I manually enter the name of the file for the sequence requested instead of passing the suggested fielname, it works fine.
And the log_archive_format is not defined, I am using the flash_recovery_area and let Oracle manage this automatically.
@Hemant K Chitale
Unfortunately, those sequences are not listed anymore in the V$ARCHIVED_LOG view.
Well, I think the the problem might be related to files that are being written to at some time...
Thanks,

When you attempt to startup the cloned database on the new server you will find that it needs recovery -- because it was taken in hot backup mode.
That is why you need to copy the archivelogs that are generated from the first archivelog after the first "alter tablespace begin backup" to the first archivelog after the last "alter tablespace end backup".
I see that you are also including a CREATE CONTROLFILE script.
You would run that at the cloned environment.
Then you would issue the RECOVER DATABASE USING BACKUP CONTROLFILE UNTIL CANCEL command to make the clone consistent.
You can, of course, use the same method to copy these archivelogs as you use to copy database files -- tar, cpio, tape, etc.

Recover standby database

Our primary linux 10g db is in standard edition and we would like to manually create a standby database
After copying the control and datafiles from primary to standby database, started the standby instance ..

I then went back to my primary database, which already had another log switch to 834, log 833 is now available, I then moved that archive log file to the standby db. Try to recover standby database again, but still got errors..

Can I recover the database to the current time using a backup control file?

Can I recover the database to the current time using a backup control file? How far can I recover this database?
I have an Oracle 10g(10.2.3) database on RHEL4.3 system.
I have lost all the current control files and all the online redo logs, archived redo logs and all other files are OK.
Now I have to recovery this database using a backup control file.
Can I recover the database without any data lost？

If
a) it was a Shutdown Abort or an Instance Crash (i.e. backgrounds died on detecting loss of redo logs),
b) redo logs are lost
c) data files are intact
You'd have to
a) Restore datafiles
b) Do an Incomplete Recovery to the last available ArchiveLog

Oracle 10g database backup & recovery

Hi,
How can i take backup of our oracle 10g database by copy its physical database file and how can i restore them from these files.
is any Strategy other then RMAN??
Regards
Raj

Can you afford to shutdown the database? If yes, do a cold backup.
1. Do a clean "shutdown immediate"
2. Copy All the Datafiles, Controlfile, Redo Log Files, Spfile/Init files using Operating System command to a required location
When you want to recover
Just copy the files back to the original destinations and statup the database. But ou hav eto know that if you copied your file by 11:00 on 25/08/06. And you loose your database on 27/08/06, you can only recover back to 25/08/06.
If you cannot afford to shut down your database or loose data, best to run your database in Archivelog Mode. Schedule and use RMAN to do a hot backup at specified time automatically. The advantage is that you do not have to shutdown your database to get a consistent backup like teh cold backup.

Cloning a 10g Database using DBCA and templates

I have created a template from a 10G database (structure and data) and want to use this template and data to create a clone of the database on another server using the DBCA on the standby server. Where does DBCA ask for the names of the templates of my clone database? It seems to only have templates for its pre-existing databases (wharehouse, general purpose, custom, etc.).

Thanks. I figured this out on my own and seems work fine. My problem is I am connected over a Window network domain and the transfer speed is very slow. I finally had to kill the job and manually move the critical control, init, redo, and data files that DBCA missed. I also had to use the DBCA again to create the EM DBconsole server as well as copy over the, initPROD.ora file as well as the tnsnames.ora, listener.ora and sqlnet.ora files over to the $ORACLE_HOME/Network/Admin directory. SPFILE was create using create spfile command, I had to perform a recover database once in the initial startup of the database clone.
If I do this operation again I will move datafiles and DBCA template components from the server to a USB SCCI Drive connected locally to the source server then connect this remote disk to the target server rather than transfer files over a domain network.
Any other tips that anyone can over on cloning a database using DBCA in 10G please let me know any things to avoid, traps, bugs, best practices would be greatly appreciated.

How i recover my database

Dear All
My database crash but luckly i have logical and phsical backup of my data base and i try my level best but i did not get good result, so plz let me know, how i recover my database(Oracle 10g, OS:window xp), means even i attach my tablespaces also
thsnks in advance
Regards,

10g means what? Please provide a full and complete version number.
What do you mean by logical and physical backup ... be very specific and clear. For example don't say "export" indicate whether it was made with exp or datapump and how you were logged on and the parameters used when it was created.
What do you mean by "crash." Again be very specific and clear.
We can do more harm by guessing your situation whereas we can help if we know what actually happened.

Back Up Server - for 10g Database

Dear Gurus,
I have the following requirement:
I have a production databaser running on Dell Server with Windows 2003. I want to create a back up server for the same and it need to be updated daily evening. So i have writtent a batch fil as follows:
echo "Backup of 10g Database User"
del d:\10gDB_Backup\*.dmp
del d:\10gDB_Backup\*.log
del s:\*.dmp
exp system/oracle file=D:\10gDB_Backup\10gDB%DATE%.dmp full=Y log=D:\10gDB_Backup\10gDB.log
echo "Finished Backup"
echo "Backup of 10g Database User"
copy D:\10gDB_Backup\*.dmp s:\
echo "Finished Copying the 10g Database to Backup Server"
Now from the above file you can see i am using the exp utility and taking a full backup of the database and copying it to S drive which is nothing but one of the drives i have mapped for coping over the network to my back up server. Now on my backup server i have installed Oracle 10g Database same version as on production with the same SID. Now after doing the export can i run import on the back up server using system user to load all the data from the export file?
Will it work also i have to perform this exp/imp daily evening automatically so what will happen to the data which is on Back up will all the users data will overided or what will happen, I will be thankful if anyone can explain and guide me in performing the above mention task.
Note Db Size is 450MB.
Regards
Kiran Rana

If you want to use an export as a supplement to a viable backup mechanism, the least you could do is use datapump. However, if this is all that you use, like damorgan says, you are a disaster waiting to happen.
Physical backups are backups of the physical files used in storing and recovering your database, such as datafiles, control files, and archived redo logs. Ultimately, every physical backup is a copy of files storing database information to some other location, whether on disk or some offline storage such as tape.
Logical backups contain logical data (for example, tables or stored procedures) exported from a database with an Oracle export utility and stored in a binary file, for later re-importing into a database using the corresponding Oracle import utility.
Physical backups are the foundation of any sound backup and recovery strategy. Logical backups are a useful supplement to physical backups in many circumstances but are not sufficient protection against data loss without physical backups.
Unless otherwise specified, the term "backup" as used in the backup and recovery documentation refers to physical backups, and to back up part or all of your database is to take some kind of physcial backup. The focus in the backup and recovery documentation set will be almost exclusively on physical backups.

Wrong results after upgrading 10g database to 11.2.0.2.6

Hi,
Do anyone know, why the following query results are different?
Not Working query:
sql1:
select col1 from tab1
where col1 = (select '123' from dual)
Working query:
sql2:
select col1 from tab1
where col1 = '123';
Both the sql1 and sql2 are returning same reseults in 10g database , but not in 11g.

Pl post OS details along with sample outputs and explain plans from the the sql1 statement from the two databases. These MOS Docs may help also

I am trying to face some problem to install oracle 10g database on windows 2003 server with service pack 2. Once I start to installation it give me an error "Error in writing to directory 'c:\documents and settings\administrator\local settings\temp\orainstall2004xxx'. Please ensure that this directory is writable and has at least 45MB of disk space. Installation cannot continue"
I double-insured that there is enough disk-space and I am also in the Administrators-Group.
Please guide me for the above problem although I have done oracle 9i database installation with the same configuration.

Reports 6i against 10g database

Hi,
We are upgrading our database from 9i to 10g. We are running our reports (6i) against 10g database in the batch mode. For some of our reports we are getting the following error:
REP-0736: There exist uncompiled program unit(s).
REP-1247: Report contains uncompiled PL/SQL.
When report is opened in ReportBuilder it needs to be recompiled against 10g and then it runs fine.
Please advise how to solve this problem.

This is not because of the database is changed. Some of the packages/program units compilation dates might have changed and hence reports wants it to be recompiled.
