Recovering Lost Data in an Oracle Table

Oracle is one of the most popular relational database management systems (RDBMS) and it is used in many companies to store and manage important data. However, data can be accidentally deleted or corrupted due to a variety of reasons. Fortunately, Oracle provides various techniques to help recover missing or corrupted data from an Oracle table.

There are two basic methods for recovering lost data from an Oracle table: recovery through the flashback feature and recovery based on the table’s backup files.

The Flashback feature allows a user to recover data from marked points in time. It can be used to recover a previous version of a row in a table or to recover an entire table up to a specified point in time. To use this feature, you must have the flashback database enabled and the undo_retention parameter set to a high value that is larger than the time period over which you want to recover data.

For example, the following statement can be used to recover the Emp table up to a point three days ago.

SQL> FLASHBACK TABLE emp TO TIMESTAMP(SYSTIMESTAMP -INTERVAL ‘3’ DAY);

The other option is to use the table’s backup files to recover lost data. This is the preferred solution for major database outages. A backup file contains all the information in the database at the time the backup was taken so it can be used to fully restore the database to the exact state it was in when the backup was taken. Backup files are usually located in the database’s archive log directory.

To recover data from a backup file, the archive log must be manually replayed on the database. Replaying the archive log restores the database from the backup file and applies all changes made after the time the backup was taken.

Recovering lost data from an Oracle database table can be done both with the flashback feature and with backups. Using the flashback database feature is a simpler and faster solution but it only works if the database administrator has enabled it and if enough flashback data is available. On the other hand, using the database’s backup file is a more reliable solution and it can be used even in the most extreme cases.
