How to force open a database?

Beauty_and_dBestJan 4 2020 — edited Jan 10 2020

Hi ALL.

We have an old 9i database backup which we want to check for audit.

It is not really so important, but we need to check some data.

But when we try to start it up, the database  needs recovery

How do we force open it even if it is corrupted or not in sync? Just for the sake of opening?

ORACLE instance started.

Total System Global Area  581506668 bytes

Fixed Size                   452204 bytes

Variable Size             402653184 bytes

Database Buffers          167772160 bytes

Redo Buffers               10629120 bytes

Control file created.

alter database open resetlogs

*

ERROR at line 1:

ORA-01194: file 1 needs more recovery to be consistent

ORA-01110: data file 1: '/home/oraprod/PROD/proddata/system01.dbf'

Please help....

I remember there is a hidden parameter something like...  _allow_corrupted_database?

Kind regards,

jc
