 Hi.
My dbase is not configured in archive mode,
and i found data block corruption in a specific datafile while starting up the database.
so created new control file using "backup control file" cmd
and using no-restlogs option is started tried to start database,
but this did not worked and oracle was searching for some archive dbf files
following error occured

ORA-00279: change 41465640 generated at 09/11/2008 14:16:02 needed for thread 1
ORA-00289: suggestion : /oracle/oracle9i/dbs/arch1_3290.dbf
ORA-00280: change 41465640 for thread 1 is in sequence #3290

ORA-00308: cannot open archived log 'ALTER'
ORA-27037: unable to obtain file status
Linux Error: 2: No such file or directory
Additional information: 3

Specify log: {<RET>=suggested | filename | AUTO | CANCEL}

and in case any input it throws out and says
media recovery incomplete .

can anybody tell me where i'm going wrong.

Hi Ramesh,

have you applied the cold backup for this work. If yes, then try

>recover database;

>alter database open noresetlogs;

Oh, I took up dat in diff scenario.. Fine, you can offline that particular datafile and open the database if you want.. Also, you can check the datafile consistency using dbverify utility..

Regards.

Hi Ramesh,

Since, you have recreated your controlfile then, startup your database in mount stage. s, You can start it to mount stage. then issue the sql stmt

>alter tablespace tablespace name offline;

>alter database open noresetlogs;

Since you donot have the cold backup of datafile, you will not be able to recover it. So, better drop dat tablespace or datafile and proceed with the database.

Regards.
