  • I cannot select table jump extensions associated with lost data files?

    Hi ~.
    I need your help to recover my database.

    I use oracle 9.2.0.8 to Fedora 3 with mode-archive.
    and I have no backup.

    Last night, I have experienced hard drive failure.
    I tried the recovery at the level of the BONE, but I lost some data from the tablespace files.

    in any case, I wanted to recover my database without the data of lost data files.

    then, I published 'drop alter database datafile offline' and
    Start the oracle instance.

    But, data files were not eliminated from dba_data_files view and
    extensions associated with lost data files were not removed from dba_extents view!

    Query a selection table containing extensions associated with lost data files.
    I have "ORA-00376: file xxx cannot be interpreted at this time" message.

    So, my question is that...
    HOW CAN I SELECT TABLE WITHOUT EXTENSIONS RELATED TO THE LOSS OF DATA SCANNING FILES?

    Thank you.

    Hello
    Without being in archivelog and without backup, can't make any sort of recovery. This is why the backups and archivelog are so important.

    The offline data file command never actually drops the data file. It simply tells the control file now the tablespace of the said is also abandoned. It refreshes not any notice that the files are not supposed to be used or shown more than you.

    What documentation is the recovery of the database in the mode NoARch.
    http://download.Oracle.com/docs/CD/B19306_01/backup.102/b14191/osrecov.htm#i1007937

    Do you need a backup in order to recover the tables being played. Oracle is not have all the features that can currently out / skip missing extensions for you and you can read the data without them.

  • . Lost exe file association: need a permanent solution

    About 5-6 months, I had a problem with a .exe file association. I could not open any programs (gadgets sidebar, Skype, msn, etc.). I searched through many solutions which work.
    I downloaded Microsoft Fix It ( http://support.microsoft.com/kb/950505MicrosoftFixit50194) which is supposed to fix the exe solution. In addition, before this, I used a patch of file from a website called .exe association: http://www.winhelponline.com/articles/105/1/File-association-fixes-for-Windows-Vista.html
    The use of the file association fix modified .exe registry HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT exefile (default) value given in "Application". Then, after some requests for windows support, he said to transform the value '%1' % *.

    Can I use the MicrosoftFixit, restart my computer, and then wait for maybe 5 minutes, and my programs load early upward. The fix would last maybe a few weeks and he was coming back, I would do the same thing and I fix it again. It happened maybe 4 - 5 times in the past months.
    Now, just recently, whenever I restart my computer, the .exe problem. So I would continue to use the current method, I do and after a long time (maybe 30-45 minutes - it happened more time because my computer is slowing down - for some reason), it works again (until I open my computer where he would once again). I need a PERMANENT solution to this .exe problem where I cannot open any programs. I system restored but it still has the problem after each relog in. Thank you for helping.

    Reitarate, I need a permanent solution to the .exe file association problem because the problem keeps coming back even if I fix it, after each relog in... Help, please

  • Manage file associations

    I started to get the message that an associated help file is not found when I try to open a pdf file. I found instructions that say I should go to tools/options, select the content and then in the section file types, select manage. But there is no file under content types section. Where the new Firefox moved the section types of file - I can't find it anywhere.

    Hello

    In your Options dialog go to the Applications tab. You can manage your file associations there.

    Note that if you're still having problems with your file associations, you may have a corrupted file mimetypes.rdf . You can go to your profile to rename Centennial mimetypes.rdf or something so that Firefox can rebuild and restore all of your default associations.

    To access your profile, go to the topic: support page, or:

  • delete the file associated with playlist

    If I import a set of files in iTunes that I have worked with previously, the program has somehow, platforms, written in the files that they are now associated with a playlist.

    But where the ID tag or file header is this and how can I remove it?

    It appears in the properties of the Win Explorer, it does not show in the menu 'get info' in iTunes (unless I missed it), and it does not show in sch third-party programs such as mp3tag.

    I tried to get rid of it by deleting the actual playlist, but once I drag and drop one of the files that are used to be in this new in iTunes, the playlist will reappear.

    So, I went to "Edit Playlist", then deleted all the files it contains. Now I have several empty playlists. But, again, if I drag move the files back into iTunes, playlists are back.

    It says "part of a compilation" in the properties of the file, but this field is always empty.

    So, how can I delete iTunes playlist audio file association?

    THX.

    Remove all file from playlist (.m3u) that is located in the folder containing the media that are imported.

    Hi Bala,

    Depending on your use case, I suggest you call the next VI, which comes with LabVIEW, after your purchase VI is the creation of the data file.  Just pass the data file path in the upper part of entry and your path to the VBScript file in less than entry.

  • All file associations went on my computer,

    I can't open anything except Internet Explorer on the computer. Even System Restore does not open, is there a way to restore the computer and fix file associations?

    You can open a normal file as search or my documents? If you can, go to tools, options, folders and file types. Who will appear the list of types of files on your computer. Check if you see here. Also, run regedit and check if you see file extension records in HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT. If they are actually missing, then you will need your windows CD-ROM.

    Equip your windows cd and restart your computer. on the first screen that you see or black screen, either go into your BIOS Setup to boot from the cd or continue to press F12 (if enabled) to enter your computers start menu and select to boot to the CD drive. Once you have selected you need to wait for windows to load all it's files and when they finish, choose to continue with the windows installation, when the installation program asks you to choose where you want to install it will say first check for installed versions of windows, and then it will ask you if you want to repair your windows installation and then press the right key to fix, I think it's R.

    Good luck with that!

    -Alex.
