ORA-01578 - bad blocks.
993195May 31 2013 — edited May 31 2013Hello,
We had a SAN crash last month and with all the confusion I missed that we had some bad blocks after the crash. Our RMAN backups have now aged out so we don't have a RMAN backup. What I do have is a datapump backup from before the event. This is table corruption. Is there a way to either restore the table to a stage location, catalog the table or datafile somehow, then restore the bad block? Otherwise, somehow determine the bad data and get the data from the backed up table and insert it back into the bad table after I re-recreate it without the bad blocks?
Oracle support is just saying recreate the table skipping the bad blocks but there has to be some way here if the data is on that datapump backup that I can determin what it is then restore it.
Thanks
