Hello,

The situation am faced with is as follow:

When I try and start my database, it fires the ORA-01113 and ORA-01110 error, on the undo datafile. I tried and recover the database using the backup controlfile option until cancel, but when I investigated the error thrown after that, I realized that the archivelog that the database server is looking for, is indeed missing. The archivelog mode is turned on, but no backup of the database has never been made.

Any clue?

Regards

ORA-01110: data file %s: '%s'
 *Cause:  Reporting file name for details of another error. The reported
          name can be of the old file if a data file move operation is
          in progress.
 *Action: See associated error message.


You have to COPY AND PASTE everything you saw, did and got, otherwise we can't help.
And don't forget to FORMAT.

Ask your boss to fire you.

Then by definition, the data was expendable.

>Any clue?

Hello,

Here is what I did and got:

I guess I would follow your advice Michel...by firing the junior DBA who did not think of setting up a backup procedure.

Thanks in advance.

Why did you use "using backup controlfile?
You do not use a backup control file; you use a current one.
