User Managed Hot Backup and Recovery of lost of data file

Example of User Managed Hot Backup:
-----------------------------------------

1)Determine which data file you need to backup.
SQL> select file_name ,tablespace_name from dba_data_files
2 /

FILE_NAME TABLESPACE_NAME
---------------------------------------- ------------------------------
/oradata2/7.dbf USERS
/oradata2/data1/dbase/users01.dbf USERS
/oradata2/data1/dbase/sysaux01.dbf SYSAUX
/oradata2/data1/dbase/undotbs01.dbf UNDOTBS1
/oradata2/data1/dbase/system01.dbf SYSTEM
/oradata2/6.dbf USERS
6 rows selected.

2)Make the tablespace in backup mode one by one and copy the associated datafile to backup location.
SQL> ALTER TABLESPACE USERS BEGIN BACKUP;

Tablespace altered.

SQL> !cp /oradata2/data1/dbase/users01.dbf /oradata2/shaik

SQL> !cp /oradata2/7.dbf /oradata2/shaik

SQL> ALTER TABLESPACE USERS END BACKUP;

Tablespace altered.

SQL> ALTER TABLESPACE SYSAUX BEGIN BACKUP;

Tablespace altered.

SQL> !cp /oradata2/data1/dbase/sysaux01.dbf /oradata2/shaik

SQL> ALTER TABLESPACE SYSAUX END BACKUP;

Tablespace altered.

SQL> ALTER TABLESPACE UNDOTBS1 BEGIN BACKUP;

Tablespace altered.

SQL> !cp /oradata2/data1/dbase/undotbs01.dbf /oradata2/shaik

SQL> ALTER TABLESPACE UNDOTBS1 END BACKUP;

Tablespace altered.

SQL> ALTER TABLESPACE SYSTEM BEGIN BACKUP;

Tablespace altered.

SQL> !cp /oradata2/data1/dbase/system01.dbf /oradata2/shaik

SQL> ALTER TABLESPACE SYSTEM END BACKUP;

Tablespace altered.

SQL> ALTER TABLESPACE USERS BEGIN BACKUP;

Tablespace altered.

SQL> !cp /oradata2/6.dbf /oradata2/shaik

SQL> ALTER TABLESPACE USERS END BACKUP;

Tablespace altered.

3)Take a backup of your control file also.
SQL> ALTER DATABASE BACKUP CONTROLFILE TO '/oradata2/shaik/control.ctl';
Database altered.


Now, I have taken backup.With this backup I will work for next recovery purpose. In this example I will show if someone has accidentally drop one datafile what will be my procedure.

Suppose someone accidentally two files.

SQL> !rm /oradata2/data1/dbase/users01.dbf
SQL> !rm /oradata2/6.dbf

Whenever you want to do any operation it will raise error like following,

SQL> alter tablespace users offline;
alter tablespace users offline
*
ERROR at line 1:
ORA-01116: error in opening database file 4
ORA-01110: data file 4: '/oradata2/data1/dbase/users01.dbf'
ORA-27041: unable to open file
Solaris-AMD64 Error: 2: No such file or directory
Additional information: 3


User Managed Recovery of Datafile when your database is online (Archive Log Mode)
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
1)Make the affected tablespace offline.
SQL> ALTER TABLESPACE USERS OFFLINE IMMEDIATE;
Tablespace altered.

2)Copy the lost datafile from backup into the location of the datafile.

SQL> !cp /oradata2/shaik/users01.dbf /oradata2/data1/dbase/
SQL> !cp /oradata2/shaik/6.dbf /oradata2

3)Recover the tablespace.
SQL> RECOVER TABLESPACE USERS;
Media recovery complete.

4)Make the Tablespace online.
SQL> ALTER TABLESPACE USERS ONLINE;
Tablespace altered.

While database is offline and can't start it will show following message.

SQL> !rm /oradata2/data1/dbase/users01.dbf

SQL> startup
ORACLE instance started.

Total System Global Area 167772160 bytes
Fixed Size 2019288 bytes
Variable Size 100663336 bytes
Database Buffers 58720256 bytes
Redo Buffers 6369280 bytes
Database mounted.
ORA-01157: cannot identify/lock data file 4 - see DBWR trace file
ORA-01110: data file 4: '/oradata2/data1/dbase/users01.dbf'

1)In order to see which files need media recovery issue,

SQL> SELECT r.FILE# AS df#, d.NAME AS df_name, t.NAME AS tbsp_name,
d.STATUS, r.ERROR, r.CHANGE#, r.TIME
FROM V$RECOVER_FILE r, V$DATAFILE d, V$TABLESPACE t
WHERE t.TS# = d.TS#
AND d.FILE# = r.FILE#
; 2 3 4 5 6

DF# DF_NAME TBSP_NA STATUS ERROR CHANGE#
---- ----------------------------------- ------- ------- ---------- ---------
4 /oradata2/data1/dbase/users01.dbf USERS ONLINE FILE NOT 0
FOUND

2)Copy the lost file from backup to destination.

SQL> !cp /oradata2/shaik/users01.dbf /oradata2/data1/dbase/users01.dbf

3)Recover the file and open the database.

SQL> RECOVER DATAFILE 4;
Media recovery complete.
SQL> ALTER DATABASE OPEN;

Database altered.


Note: If the location is damaged permamnent to make datafile in another location use,
SQL>ALTER DATABASE RENAME FILE '/oradata2/data1/dbase/users01.dbf' TO
'/disk2/users01.dbf';

If you do not have a backup of a specific datafile but you have archived log since the datafile creation then you can recover that datafile by creating an empty file by ALTER DATABASE CREATE DATAFILE and then simply perform recovery of the datafile.

ORA-00923: FROM keyword not found where expected

Problem Symptom While performing a simple select statement it fails with error ORA-00923: FROM keyword not found where expected like below. SQL> select 48*1024*1024*1024 decimal from dual; select 48*1024*1024*1024 decimal from dual * ERROR at line 1: ORA-00923: FROM keyword not found where expected Cause of the problem The ORA-00923 can be caused by two different reasons. 1)Oracle itself expect FROM keyword in the position but it could not find any. Like below, SQL> select 48*1024 om dual; select 48*1024 om dual * ERROR at line 1: ORA-00923: FROM keyword not found where expected As no from keyword found so error arises. Oracle expected from in place of keyword dual. 2)The secong cause can sometimes mislead you. Like in case of SQL> select 48*1024*1024*1024 decimal from dual; select 48*1024*1024*1024 decimal from dual * ERROR at line 1: ORA-00923: FROM keyword not found where exp

How to make partitioning in Oracle more Quickly

As the table size grows and full table scans happens more frequently then there is no alternative than partitioning in oracle. Partition greatly enhance performance of a query. I will start my partitioning system simply with an example. In my database the following query took 30~35 seconds to complete. After partitioning the performance increased amazingly and it then took only 1 second. My query was, SELECT DISTINCT fs.type, fs.id , fs.pid, fs.cid , fs.cr_id, fs.created_date FROM summary fs where fs.id in (select fa.id from forms fa where fa.sar in (select la.sar from login la where la.login_id=1 and fa.created_date BETWEEN to_date('1-MAY-2008') AND to_date('21-SEP-2008') and fs.created_date BETWEEN to_date('1-MAY-2008') AND to_date('21-SEP-2008') ) )and mode=0; After seeing above query I decide to make range partition on column created_date both in summary table and forms table. Below is the list of procedur

Copy files between Unix and Windows with rcp

There are many third party tools by which you can copy files between windows and unix machine. Some common tools are winscp, SSHSecureShellClient etc. Instead of using any third party tool, you can use original unix and windows built-in tool to do the task. The RCP (Remote CoPy) is a standard UNIX tool and a Microsoft Windows 2000 tool that copies files/folder to and from computer running the RCP service. Before you can use the RCP tool from a Windows-based computer you must do something in your UNIX computer. you must turn on the RCP service and update the security files to allow the Windows-based computer to connect to your unix machine over this service. The following steps will help you. Step 01: Turn on RCP service on UNIX Host Turn on the RCP service on unix machine by using inetd: 1. Log on as root. 2. Edit the file /etc/Inetd.conf. 3. Uncomment the lines that start with shell and that start with exec. 4. Save the file. 5. Use ps -ef |grep inetd and determine inetd service p
