A user accidentally dropped a table in production database. We have a proper RMAN backup.
Normally we follow the below steps for recovery:
1. Offline the datafiles/tablespace belonging to table.

2. Restore the datafiles/tablespace.
3. Recover the datafiles.
For this we need an outage for the application. So we using prior backup to clone the database &
export the table and import into production. Our database is very huge database. So restoration is
very difficult.
That time we used skip tablespace feature. Restore the corresponding tablespace, system, and undo
& sysaux tablespace. To reduce the restoration downtime & avoid the space issue.
I have tested this scenario in my test server.
Environment Details:
Operating system: Windows XP service pack 2
Database Version: 11.1.0.7 (32 bit)
Source database name: che
Clone database name: clonedb
How its work?
RMAN before restore the datafiles its skip the mentioned skip tablespace belonging datafiles.
That datafiles are offline before restore operation is performed. After recovery, its remove the
skip tablespace information from current control file.
We will create two users & 4 tablespaces.
1. Login into CHE database
----created new tablespaces
SQL> create tablespace raja_data

2 datafile 'D:\ORACLE\APP\ORADATA\CHE\raja_data01.dbf' size 100m;
Tablespace created.
SQL> create tablespace raja_indx

2 datafile 'D:\ORACLE\APP\ORADATA\CHE\raja_indx01.dbf' size 50m;

----created new user

Grant succeeded.
SQL> create table raja.objects as select * from dba_objects;
Table created.
SQL> create index raja.object_id_indx on raja.objects(object_id) tablespace raja_indx;

----created new tablespaces
SQL> create tablespace test_data

----created new user

A user dropped a table accidentally. At least we know anyone time/sequence/SCN, & easily
recovered the table.
W e don’t know the exact time that table was dropped. How can we find?
U just refresh about LOGMINER utility ☺
Using LOGMINER to analyze the online redo log files or archived log files & find the SCN.

Accidentally dropped table: Recovery using RMAN cloning

Dropped table recovery using RMAN Cloning

Mail me: rajabaskar.t@gmail.com

Normally we follow the below steps for recovery:

1. Offline the datafiles/tablespace belonging to table.

I have tested this scenario in my test server.

Operating system: Windows XP service pack 2

Database Version: 11.1.0.7 (32 bit)

Source database name: che

Clone database name: clonedb

How its work?

We will create two users & 4 tablespaces.

1. Login into CHE database

----created new tablespaces

SQL> create tablespace raja_data

SQL> create tablespace raja_indx

----created new user

SQL> create user raja identified by raja

SQL> grant connect, resource, dba to raja;

SQL> create table raja.objects as select * from dba_objects;

SQL> create index raja.object_id_indx on raja.objects(object_id) tablespace raja_indx;

----created new tablespaces

SQL> create tablespace test_data

SQL> create tablespace test_indx

----created new user

SQL> create user baskar identified by baskar

SQL> grant connect, resource, dba to baskar;

SQL> create table baskar.objects as select * from dba_objects;

SQL> create index baskar.bas_object_id_indx on baskar.objects(object_id)

SQL> select segment_name,segment_type,tablespace_name from dba_segments where

SEGMENT_NAME SEGMENT_TYPE TABLESPACE_NAME

SQL> select tablespace_name, file_name from dba_data_files;

2. Backup the target database ( CHE database)
