Why not physical backup be able to restore logical tables ?

DBA's are used to the perspective of physical & logical backups for a long time .
I wonder why should it not be able to do a logical restore a single table from a physical backup ? It will be great to have this possibility.
Is this is design constraint that can be changed by Oracle ?
-Shekar

This is not a design constraint.
The physical backup is of all the physical components of a database which are interpreted by the server software to create the logical representation.
A physical backup is meant to be restored completely whereas a logical backup can be restored as of requirement.
It is not desirable to be able to restore a single table from physical backup as table is a logical representation of data. Till such time that the physical data is not interpreted by Server software it is just bytes on the disk.
So, if we want to restore a table from physical backup we will need a running instance to interpret the data and this will be more time consuming than having it extracted from a logical set.
If our system has not gone down and we want to restore the table just to a previous state, then (Oracle 10g) we can do it easily without taking the help of physical backups, through flashbacks.
These are my views, perhaps others can join in and we can discuss this out.

i have taken backup of my phone ; not able to restore it back

Encrypted backup?
Read here:
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS5162
If the backup you're trying to restore from is encrypted, you will not be able to use that backup if you can't remember the encrypted backup passcode.
If on a Mac, & you elected to save the passcode to your Keychain, you can recover the passcode from your Keychain. Otherwise, your backup data is unrecoverable.
While you can continue to sync/backup, if you can't remember it & want to remove it, you'll have to delete your existing backups, & restore your phone as a new device.
You delete your existing backups here: iTunes>Preferences>Devices.

I do not understand you question/problem.
What does "not able to restore from backup because his iPod is all" means.
Also, there is no viewable photo in your post.

Hallo ,why is it that when I delete a photo ,which is backed up by time machine and western digital external hard drive , that I am able to restore the photo okay but not the titles and descriptions . I have a Macbook 4.1, mac osx 10.5.8 . Iphoto 7.1.5 ,

QUESTION.
Hallo , my question is ;whenever I delete a photo and restore it through Time machine and Western digital external hard drive , I am able to restore the photo but not the titles and descriptions . Western Digital inform me that it isn't their external hard drive problem and suggest that it is an Apple software problem ?
I am using a Macbook 4.1 , with Mac OSX 10.5.8 . I photo 7.1.5 , last modifie4d 01/05/2010 -universal . Should I be upgrading Iphoto ?
I hope that someone is able to help in this matter , as i have to restore 12000 photos !
Thanking you in anticipation.
Alan from Wigton

Hallo Kieth ,
I am not quite ready to restore the full iphoto library , as I have days of work re - imputting titles,descriptions and enhancement . I hope that your suggestion works , as I use my Macbook basically to work with digital photography. Through time , I will need to delete my library to recover more disc space and I would hate to have to spend more time re - imputting titles and descriptions all over again .
Thanks for your interest and advice.
regards - Alan

I just got an iPhone 5, and my backup won't restore apps from my iPhone 4. Why not?

I backed up my iPhone 4 immediately before initializing/installing my iPhone 5. iPhone 5 went through all of the procedural rigmarole of a new set-up, and some things did transfer over (ie, settings, pics, txts, contacts, etc...). However, NONE of my apps made it over. Not a single one. Why not?
EDIT 1: None of my music made it over, either. We're talking 2,000+ songs.

Great question...that was one of my concerns. I back up to two different computers. One is a Mac, and long story short, I can't update via that comp because of outdated OS (needs new iTunes, which needs new OS, etc...). So the music is on THAT computer, not the one from which the new phone was initialized.
This brings up a new question - I just ordered Snow Leopard, which I'll have by Thursday. I'll install that onto my Mac, download updated iTunes, and then update my phone. Will the music then transfer over?

Not able to restore ipad .. error 14

I gave my ipad ( WIFI + 4G LTE , A1475 ) for a couple of days to my cousin as he had asked for it . When he returned it to me , I got to know that my ipad had been jailbroken . Since I did not want to risk my ipad , I connected it to Itunes and choose to restore from a backup . When I restored , I was still able to find cydia in it . I then opened settings and choose " Erase all settings " ( that restoring to factory settings ) . The problem then started .My ipad was continuously stuck at the apple logo with a progress bar having no progress . So , I put it in DFU mode and connected it to Itunes and it says , " The software on "Ipad" needs to be restored to factory settings or updated." I tried both the option several times on 2 pc, but it ends up saying " The software for the ipad "ipad" was corrupted during download. Please disconnect your device and try again." . I also manually downloaded the firmware and did **** + restore and proceeded . This time it went till half the way of restoring ipad and have the error " The ipad "ipad" could not be restored. An unknown error has occurred (14)."
Have tried multiple computers, usb ports, and have the latest version of itunes installed.I also searched online and tried that hosts , tinyumberlla , deleting previous ipad software downloads . But no use .
So , please help me bring my ipad back to normal conditions . I am feeling very bad for my ipad but still have a ray of hope left . awaiting for help .

I think it is the hardware issue. You can check the details for the error: Resolve iOS update and restore errors - Apple Support

TS2518 I recently had to get a new hard drive on my MacBook Pro because of a crash. I was able to restore to my latest backup, but now when I need to upload to an application like DropBox, iMovie, and such, it won't acknowledge Aperture. I have Lion OS.

I recently had my hard drive crash on my MacBook Pro (OS Lion 10.7.5). I was able to restore my new hard drive from my latest backup, but since then have been unable to access Aperture Library from another application. When I 'request' an upload --- like to Drop Box, iMovie, or anything --- and it drops down the window for you to choose which library you want to choose from, Aperture is not acknowledged. It will show my iPhoto Library and Photo Booth.
I can export from Aperture to Facebook and Flicker, but not from the other direction. Any ideas on how to resolve this issue?
Thanks,
Brenda

Brenda,
Do you mean, the Media Browser is not showing the Aperture Library? What version of Aperture 3 do you have, and where is your Aperture library stored, on your system drive or an external drive?
For the Aperture Library to be visible in the Media Browser you need to have enabled the generation of previews in the Aperture "Previews" preferences. Do you have the option enabled "Share Previews with iLife and iWorks"? And have you the generation of previews enabled?
One other reason for Aperture not showing in the Media Browser could be a corrupted Aperture library. I suggest you try the "Aperture Library First Aid Tools" and repair your Aperture Library. Start with reapairing permissions, then try the other options, if necessary. See:
Repairing and Rebuilding Your Aperture Library: Aperture 3 User Manual
Another reason may be a corrupted preferences file; remove your Aperture preferences from your User Library, see Aperture 3: Troubleshooting Basics, the paragraph on removing preferences.
Regards
Léonie

You don't in the condition it's in. You will either have to get the phone replaced by Apple or pay a 3rd party to repair it.
there seriously should be more than two ways to solve this other wise apple is useless and we will never buy another apple product.
Seriously? It's physically broken!

HT1766 If I fully backup my iPad using iTunes, does it backup ebooks in iBooks that are not purchased via iTunes or will restoring from that backup only showed purchased ebooks in iBooks?

If I fully backup my iPad using iTunes, does it backup ebooks in iBooks that are not purchased via iTunes or will restoring from that backup only showed purchased ebooks in iBooks?

Purchased content MAY be available for redownload - Music for sure. I think books are NOT available for redownload (not sure).
Best practice is to keep the content on a desktop computer to be able to resync when necessary (or use a cloud service like Drop Box).

There are two ways that a backup can become encrypted:
You chose to encrypt it, then forgot the password.
If you have company-provided MS Exchange access your IT department has the option of requiring your backup to be encrypted. The first time you backed up or synced after installing MS Exchange you were prompted for a password. That is the password you need.
If you don't have the password any longer there is no way to restore the backup.

I had to change my hard drive. I thought it would be easy, as I have a time capsule, but I have not been able to restore my information. What to do?

Hi, I had to change my hard drive in my MacBookPro. I was not worried, as I have a time capsul. However, once back with my new hard drive, I have not been able to restore all my info "as if nothing happened".
What can, should, I do?
Thanks for your help.

Syncing to a new iTunes library or computer will erase your ipod. Only if you back up your device manually before syncing, you can restore from that backup again. A manual backup does not include the sync process.
Here's how to:
Disable autosync in iTunes, connect your ipod to your computer and right click on it in the device list and choose backup. iTunes will backup your ipod without syncing.
Transfer your purchases the same way, choosing "transfer purchases" this time.
When you connect your device for the first time, all media content will be erased. But you can restore your settings and app data from your manual backup afterwards.
Don't forget to set up at least one contact and event on your new computer to be able to merge calendars and contacts when you sync the ipod for the first time.

I recently had to create a new profile, and thought I had backed up my bookmarks. They are now gone and I have not been able to restore them. Any chance they can be recovered? Thanks!

It is possible that you forgot to add a file extension (.json) while saving and in that case you may be looking for the wrong file.
Also make sure that you search for hidden files and folder in case the file was saved in the [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox Firefox Profile Folder]
Firefox won't import the file without a .json file extension ("Can't process ..."), but you can create a backup with any name.
