Could not start the Database

User_99JIMJan 21 2020 — edited Jan 22 2020

Dears,

We've have an Oracle 9i database running on Windows. Last week there was a power shutdown and the database was down too.

After the power came, when we tried to start the database we couldn't and it's giving below error: We're in Mount state now.

SQL> alter database open;

alter database open

*

ERROR at line 1:

ORA-01113: file 8 needs media recovery

ORA-01110: data file 8: 'E:\ORACLE\ORADATA\ABC\TOOLS01.DBF'

Unfortunately, we have no valid backups and it's our PRODUCTION database.

Can someone help me on this to resolve the issue.

Thanks.
