提示：Oracle的隐含参数只应该在测试环境或者在Oracle Support的支持下使用。
在使用_disable_logging进一步的测试中，试图通过switch logfile进行日志切换，结果重起居然报出日志文件损坏。
1 SQL> startup 2 ORACLE instance started. 3 4 Total System Global Area 97588504 bytes 5 Fixed Size 451864 bytes 6 Variable Size 33554432 bytes 7 Database Buffers 62914560 bytes 8 Redo Buffers 667648 bytes 9 Database mounted. 10 Database opened. 11 SQL> select count(*) from t; 12 select count(*) from t 13 * 14 ERROR at line 1: 15 ORA-00942: table or view does not exist 16 17 18 SQL> create table t as select * from dba_users; 19 20 Table created. 21 22 SQL> select count(*) from t; 23 24 COUNT(*) 25 ---------- 26 12
试图通过switch logfile触发检查点:
1 SQL> alter system switch logfile; 2 3 System altered. 4 5 6 SQL> insert into t select * from t; 7 8 12 rows created. 9 10 SQL> commit; 11 12 Commit complete. 13 14 SQL> select count(*) from t; 15 16 COUNT(*) 17 ---------- 18 24
日志文件损坏(未测试是否可以重复出现):
1 SQL> startup force; 2 ORACLE instance started. 3 4 Total System Global Area 97588504 bytes 5 Fixed Size 451864 bytes 6 Variable Size 33554432 bytes 7 Database Buffers 62914560 bytes 8 Redo Buffers 667648 bytes 9 Database mounted. 10 ORA-00354: corrupt redo log block header 11 ORA-00353: log corruption near block 3 change 897612314 time 10/19/2005 14:19:34 12 ORA-00312: online log 3 thread 1: '/opt/oracle/oradata/conner/redo03.log'
损坏的是active的日志文件:
SQL> select * from v$log; GROUP# THREAD# SEQUENCE# BYTES MEMBERS ARC STATUS FIRST_CHANGE# FIRST_TIM ---------- ---------- ---------- ---------- ---------- --- ---------------- ------------- --------- 1 1 159 10485760 1 NO INACTIVE 897592312 19-OCT-05 2 1 158 10485760 1 NO INACTIVE 897572310 19-OCT-05 3 1 160 10485760 1 NO ACTIVE 897612314 19-OCT-05 4 1 161 1048576 1 NO CURRENT 897612440 19-OCT-05
只好使用另外一个隐含参数_allow_resetlogs_corruption强制启动数据库，设置此参数之后，在数据库Open过程中，Oracle会跳过某些一致性检查，从而使数据库可能跳过不一致状态，Open打开:
1 SQL> alter system set "_allow_resetlogs_corruption"=true scope=spfile; 2 3 System altered. 4 5 SQL> shutdown immediate; 6 ORA-01109: database not open 7 8 Database dismounted. 9 ORACLE instance shut down. 10 SQL> startup mount; 11 ORACLE instance started. 12 13 Total System Global Area 97588504 bytes 14 Fixed Size 451864 bytes 15 Variable Size 33554432 bytes 16 Database Buffers 62914560 bytes 17 Redo Buffers 667648 bytes 18 Database mounted. 19 SQL> recover database using backup controlfile until cancel; 20 ORA-00279: change 897612315 generated at 10/19/2005 16:54:18 needed for thread 1 21 ORA-00289: suggestion : /opt/oracle/oradata/conner/archive/1_160.dbf 22 ORA-00280: change 897612315 for thread 1 is in sequence #160 23 24 25 Specify log: {=suggested | filename | AUTO | CANCEL} 26 cancel 27 ORA-01547: warning: RECOVER succeeded but OPEN RESETLOGS would get error below 28 ORA-01194: file 1 needs more recovery to be consistent 29 ORA-01110: data file 1: '/opt/oracle/oradata/conner/system01.dbf' 30 31 32 ORA-01112: media recovery not started 33 34 35 SQL> alter database open resetlogs; 36 37 Database altered. 38 39 SQL> shutdown immediate; 40 Database closed. 41 Database dismounted. 42 ORACLE instance shut down. 43 SQL> startup 44 ORACLE instance started. 45 46 Total System Global Area 97588504 bytes 47 Fixed Size 451864 bytes 48 Variable Size 33554432 bytes 49 Database Buffers 62914560 bytes 50 Redo Buffers 667648 bytes 51 Database mounted. 52 Database opened.
幸运的时候数据库就可以成功Open，如果不幸可能会遇到一系列的Ora-600错误（最常见的是2662错误）此时就需要使用多种手段继续进行调整恢复。
如果注意观察alert日志，我们可能会发现类似以下日志:
1 Fri Jun 10 16:30:25 2005 2 alter database open resetlogs 3 Fri Jun 10 16:30:25 2005 4 RESETLOGS is being done without consistancy checks. This may result 5 in a corrupted database. The database should be recreated. 6 RESETLOGS after incomplete recovery UNTIL CHANGE 240677200 7 Resetting resetlogs activation ID 3171937922 (0xbd0fee82)
Oracle告诉我们，强制resetlogs跳过了一致性检查，可能导致数据库损坏，数据库应当重建。
不一致恢复最后恢复到的Change号是：240677200
通常使用此方法Open数据库之后，应该立即通过导出、导入重建数据库。
