Data corruption

Data corruption occurs when the structure of the database is intact but the data is not. This situation is caused by incorrect or accidental SQL statements being executed and committed. In this case, you have the following options:

  • Restore the incorrect table or tables from the most recent export. Take care to ensure that referential integrity is maintained.

  • Restore the tablespace (in Oracle8), using the tablespace point-in-time recovery process, to just prior to the data corruption. Of course, changes to any other tables in that tablespace made after the recovery point will be lost.

  • Recover the entire database to a time prior to the data corruption, using either hot or cold backups.
