Error is below:

could not open database due to ora-01251:unknown file header version on one datafile

dbverify - verification starting: FILE = xx.dbf

page 1 is influx - most likely media corrupt

corrupt block relative dba: 0x04000001 (file 16, block 1)

fractured block found during dbv:

data in bad block:

type:11 format:2 rdba:0x04000001

last change scn:0x0000.00000000 seq:0x1 flg:0x04

as per issue datafile 16 is corrupt.

if db is noarchivelog and bo backup we can not recover the file.

Regarding DUL i already updated, we will need to consult with your management and determine if the data is important enough to contact Oracle onsite consult.

Answer:

we can provide dul recovery service , can you pls try PRM-DUL first?

Question:

I've alredy tested the free edition of DUL4108.zip.

It seems that it managed to unload table data from the datafile with the corrupted datafile header.

The problem is I had to test with small scratch tables whose segments do not span multiple datafiles because of the 10.000 rows limit.

So we still cannot be 100% sure whether it will work with a table that spans multiple datafiles and that has blocks belonging to the datafile with

corrupted file header. Is there a way to test-prove it ?

The other issue I encountered is with varchar datatype. The database is created with EE8MSWIN1250 characterset, but the diacritic characters are

scrambled in the sqlloader file created with the PRM-DUL "unload and save as" option. From what I've seen, PRM-DUL correctly recognized the

database characterset when scanning the content of the system01.dbf.

Answer:

1、 Is there a way to test-prove it ? no , but if it can recover 10000 rows , it means it can recover more.

2、 but the diacritic characters are

scrambled in the sqlloader file created with the PRM-DUL "unload and save as" option.

pls use the data bridge mode , and make sure the target database charset is EE8MSWIN1250 , then there won't be charset problem.

the prm-dul enterprise edition costs 1500 USD per database . I will send you a paypal payment link , after payment you will receive the key.

We provides recover service , thats means you no longer need to do it yourself . The price is up to the Database size .

Are you using the dictionary mode or non-dictionary mode? if the non-dictionary mode , you need the choose the correct charset yourself.
