User-Managed Complete Recovery in ARCHIVELOG Mode

Let’s suppose one of your data file got corrupted/deleted. The time you try to start the Oracle Instance, it will give you an error with the name and location of the data files. If the Oracle server is up and running and you don’t want to shut it down then follow the following steps.

Step 1:

Take the corrupted data file offline

Use the following SQL statement to take the corrupted/deleted data file offline.

ALTER DATABASE DATAFILE ‘c:\oracle\oradata\test\users01.dbf’ OFFLINE;



Step 2:

Restore the corrupted data file

Restore the corrupted data file by copy it from the backed up location and pasting it to the original location at the operating system level or in other words using operating systems commands like ‘copy’ in windows or ‘cp’ in Unix/Linux.
