Data Browser

Data Browser is a new feature bundled with the product, available from the same program group where Recovery for Oracle is installed. It is a separate granular data recovery utility to view and extract individual items from database.

Always try the Data Browser if...

• the standard wizard-style recovery mode fails or produces insufficient results;
• the source file is large;
• just a few items need to be recovered.

Tip: Recovery for Oracle Data Browser can be used as a preview and recovery tool on both corrupted and healthy files.

Limitations

• The rows order in recovered tables may differ from the order in the original database

Use Cases

Recovery for Oracle provides database administrators the capability to recover information from corrupted databases.

Oracle block corruption is a leading cause of database integrity loss. As a result, users may partially or completely lose access to information stored in a corrupted database.

A standard method for preventing these situations is using Oracle RMAN. Oracle Recovery Manager helps to back up and restore databases and detect block corruption. However, using RMAN to restore a database means that there should be available a reasonably recent backup to restore from.

But what if the backup is unavailable, corrupted, too old, or the pre-failure updates to the corrupted database are just too important to lose?

Enter dbms_repair, a standard utility for repairing block corruption. While it can fix relatively simple cases, there are several reasons why Recovery for Oracle can perform better.

Recovery for Oracle advantages over dbms_repair are:

• Employing advanced custom repair algorithms that summarize years of experience in Oracle database repair;
• Convenient graphical user interface that shows the contents of the recovered database and provides means of selecting particular items to be recovered;
• Saving recovered data into SQL scripts that can be used selectively or even modified in the course of rebuilding the database.

Working together, these advanced features can help DBA to recover Oracle database better and faster than with using standard recovery utilities.

In some cases, dbms_repair can completely fail to repair Oracle database, while Recovery for Oracle can still perform strongly, extracting significant amounts of important user data.
