Hi,

I had made a datafile as offline, then suddenly (without any change) I tried to take it back online. But it shows me error.
As it wants the Media Recovery for that datafile.

Question:
As there was not any changes made, why it ask me for Media Recovery?

Thanks in advance.

Oracle disagrees.
Background process can & DO issue DML and COMMITS!

Just execute a recovery, if there is anything to do then Oracle will see it.

Here's an example (all commands executed successively without any wait but the time to type the commands, it's on my laptop, I am alone and there is only this session):
SQL> alter database datafile 'E:\ORACLE\BASES\MIKA\TEST01.DBF' offline;

Database altered.

SQL> alter database datafile 'E:\ORACLE\BASES\MIKA\TEST01.DBF' online;
alter database datafile 'E:\ORACLE\BASES\MIKA\TEST01.DBF' online
*
ERROR at line 1:
ORA-01113: file 7 needs media recovery
ORA-01110: data file 7: 'E:\ORACLE\BASES\MIKA\TEST01.DBF'


SQL> recover datafile 'E:\ORACLE\BASES\MIKA\TEST01.DBF' ;
Media recovery complete.
SQL> alter database datafile 'E:\ORACLE\BASES\MIKA\TEST01.DBF' online;

Database altered.

Regards
Michel
