Problem with restore DB

I backed up the database using sqldeveloper > tools > export databases > suckered into the sql file. But now I don't know how to restore, in particular tables, they contain important data. Database is 11g.

-Now you can have a bit of a problem. Developer SQL creates just one (or more) files SQL according to the options you have chosen.

If you put everything in a SINGLE file restore you what you want by finding and running portions of the file that you want to use MANUALLY.

Here it is just a SMALL example of an 'export' for a file ONLY the SCOTT dept and emp tables and data. You can see how everything (TABLE DDL, DATA) is just mixed:

  • Rescue and recovery - problem with restore

    I think I know what the problem is but not how to fix...

    ThinkPad T61p running 64-bit Windows 7.  Replacing the hard drive, no recovery partition.  R & R to USB backup.

    I was diligent to make backups every week, but in September last my backup USB drive was almost full, so I bought a new.  I used R & R to prepare the new disk and which seems to work very well so I continued with my weekly backups sent to the new drive.  I got some of the files in the backup when I accidentally deleted them so I assumed everything was in good condition.

    I was wrong.

    A few days ago, I messed up my email and went to restore from my backup taken a few hours before.  Any attempt to have failed with an error message "the list box identifier was not found.  So, I tried a full system restore.  In point 40% it abandoned leaving the hard drive in a State that won't start plu, which could not be fixed with the repair tool on the Win7 installation DVD.

    I was able to restore a system from the old USB drive as dated September 8, 2012.  My problem is the missing 5 months of e-mail.  It is saved on the drive again, but I can't restore it.

    I have an idea what the problem could be, namely the absence of a "Basic" backup on the new drive.  Logical when you think about it, but of course, when you create the backup system I don't have.

    There is space on the new USB drive to copy over ALL the backups of the old drive, but I'm afraid of the farce of things even more.  I make images of two disks before you start fiddling with.  During this time I can't see in the RRBackups directory, at least on Windows 7.  I mounted the old drive on linux, and from there, I can look inside RRBackups.  There is a directory that contains what seems to be the 'Base' and another that holds incremental backups. I have not tried the same thing with the new drive, because it is always to be graphic.

    On each disk, there are a lot of empty directories with names long empty of meaning.  I have no idea this is.

    Incremental backups seem to live inside the numbered directories 1-32 (for example).  As I have not looked at the new USB I don't know if the numbering continues to 33 (in this example) or starts from 1.  I guess that things will be a little easier if the numbering does NOT start again from 1.  In this case, it may be possible to copy all the backups on the new drive.  Also maybe you can only backup "Core" is necessary.

    If anyone has any ideas or suggestions, then please respond.  The objective remains to get the files from e-mail from my latest backup (on the new USB.  I don't like anything else.

    This response will be shorter.

    (1) area of dreaded list.  Your recent incremental restore to EMAIL worked fine (Feb incremental 2013 had the file). NO error in list box.   When you wanted older files in this series, she had to return to base backup (05 dec 2012) list box-error.  The restore list made its way to the basis of searching for files. Restoring single files in the database fails with the message list box.  This basic restore also fails with the error message (rnr old or such).

    But you mixed and matched the base backups.  I'm glad you're current Email (your goal).

    HUmm. the new USB-based backup is suspicious. You have 4 ways to start RNR. Current C (windows platform), stand-alone C (PF11), Old usb, new boot usb boot.  Looks that all of your software startup RNR is 4.3. I don't understand how a backup and understand what liberation did the backup.  It's in France somewhere in there.

    To determine which software RNR boot on the USB, go to USB:\preboot\sysinfo\sinfo.exe and PROPERTIES, Details tab you can also start the USB and hit to help? button on the screen of the RNR. On option.

    I'm only interested in the RNR starting on new USB version. Please report it.  I'm not quite clear where you started the RNR when you tried to restore the 05 Dec. (pf11 or New boot usb used?).

    (2) something is not right on new usb (basic backup).  But your plan is to erase this. and c. current (large) backup. (so new boot RNR of the interface of media create).  For some strange reason, you think that your Base was taken with RNR (older or newer)... The base is not corrupted.  The start software does not match the backup file

    (3) blue ray RW.  It will be MUCH faster backup if you use blue ray R.

    ==

    Final summary:

    (1) another? How long have you used the NEW USB for backups? Do you have backups of vista on the new USB at a certain point in time?

    (2) my guess is that your NEW USB had rained stand-alone boot of RNR vista on it. (guess long shot). No bogus msg...

    (3) dec 05 backup log.

    Look in the new USB, new uuid,\Common\rr.log. This will document your backup 05 dec. But they do no release levels

    in there.

    (4) Blue Ray backup RNR. To the restoration of this set:

    Disc 1 is boot.

    Intermediate DVD are given.

    Finally, DVD, the table of contents. That is to say, Final.

    Restore, use DISK 1.  It will then ask for final load, and then back to DVD 2.

    (5) had been working on was some scans color corrections I did a couple of years there are movies xxx, beautiful.

    If your reset base seven 2012 did not, your 05 dec did not find it either.

    (6) I am honored to talk with you. Your work looks very good. I am a programmer to systems, LOL.

    Version numbers:

    Windows: 4.50.00.25.00

    Independent: 4.50.10.25.00

    Not much. They will not match.

  • Problem with restore after installing IE9

    I had upgraded to IE 9 and my pc started running slow, then he must be stopped when I went to my sites. So I decided to restore to the point before the download. Now my pc boots but I have a black screen. Anyone know why and how to fix it?

    Hi tasjac0

     

    Method 1 :
    You can check if you are able to start properly in safe mode. In safe mode; you have access to only the drivers and base files. Check out the link to start the computer in safe mode and then check-
    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows-Vista/start-your-computer-in-safe-mode


    Method 2:

    You can check if you can use the last known good configuration. It's a Windows startup option that uses the most recent system settings that worked correctly. Whenever you turn your computer off and Windows shuts properly, important system settings are saved in the registry. Then it starts Windows with the last configuration of registry and the pilot who has worked successfully.

    Please refer to the below links to get help on the issue.

  • Problems with restoration - 2.0

    I had to do a system restore.  When you try to launch the project, the system prompts to locate several rendering files.  The files are there, but won't let me say no link rendering files are audio file types when the original video file types.  My first thought is that I'm missing a codec, but I have relinked all videos from source successfully and it's all appearing as video.  Any ideas?  Thanks for your help - I hate to lose all that work.

    Links to render files seem to be a little more fragile than the media links.

    Remember that the Audio and video are generally insured, so that you might have accidentally tried posting a link to the Audio version. In the dialog box, you can usually see the file extensions (if you have enabled in Folder Options in Control Panel) and must choose the AVI version. In addition, there is a small box, 'Show the exact match' (or similar syntax), and if you check that, while in the correct folder, all the other files will disappear, allowing you to choose the missing file to link to.

    All that being said, the rendering of files can be safely ignored, because they can be redone, as needed. You can safely delete render files, if disk space HARD is never an issue, or when archiving a project, like a simple tap to enter key will regenerate them.

    Good luck

My problem is that I wanted to do a restore, but I couldn't because the screen problem it started so I plugged into an external monitor and perform the restore. That has worked well.

    But now the laptop recognizes any my laptop screen. When you go to view it offers no other monitor choice other than external, I used for the restoration. I downloaded the display driver but nothing has changed.
    ANY IDEAS?

    Thank you

    (I have the disks for the restoration, if that helps.)

    > There a problem with the monitor for a while, when you turn it on it's all lines etc. and you can't read
    If I understand you right you can see when laptop starts and you see Toshiba welcome screen. Is this good?
    When you enter the BIOS settings you see thise lines too?

  • Problems with the 64-bit on Pavilion a6620f Vista Factory restore

    I had a hard drive failure and restoration on a new hard drive. The original HD is a 500 GB Seagate Barracuda 7200.11 model ST 3500620AS. The new HD is a 500 GB Seagate Barracuda 7200 model ST 3500641AS - RK. I bought a set of restore for this HP computer disks.

    First problem was that disk 1 does not start from the internal CD/DVD drive. My Seagate drive boots fine on the same drive! I used an external USB CD/DVD drive and restore disks worked well on that. I went through the process of factory restore and in the end, I get an error message "installing Windows could not configure Windows to run on this computer hardware." I tried to change the BIOS setting from ACHI and IDE to SATA RAID with no luck. I tried to unplug the USB CD drive before the first reboot. That no longer works.  I unplugged the internal CD drive and tried different combinations with no luck. Need help I have run out of things to try! Does anyone have any ideas/thoughts?

    Hello:

    I don't know how you can get your recovery discs to work.

    Looks like you have tried everything.

    I had problems with mine too and got the same error on a HP Elite 8200 desktop computer business

    It was the first time I've ever had a problem with recovery disks.  It's very frustrating.

    I have a workaround if all goes well, you can use to get Vista on your PC...

    If you can read your 25-character product key MS, you can make your own Windows Vista installation disc. You just download the 3 files you need on the link below and read all the instructions to create a Setup bootable DVD disk using imageburn.

    It was not so hard to do. I burned both the disk of 64-bit and 32-bit disk in case I ever need them.

    I tested both of them (just before going forward with the actual facility) and they seem to work perfectly.

    Apparently, when you enter the product key, he knows which version of Vista you have.

    http://en.community.Dell.com/support-forums/software-OS/w/microsoft_os/3317.2-3-Microsoft-Windows-VI...

    After you have successfully installed vista, you can download the drivers you need your PC support and driver page.

    Thank you in anticipation

    Gordon

    Great stuff, thanks a lot

    Gordon

    You're welcome Gordon. Glad I could help. The only downside to re-setup of system restore is that you lose all your previous restore points. So, if you were in a situation where you need one of these restore points, you need to find another way to resolve what the question is / was. Nevertheless, I hope that you never have another issue to resolve, but if you always try to make the system restore of last resort. Well, re-installation of Windows is the last but, System Restore is just ahead of him.

  • Problems with system restore recovery disc

    I accidently turned off my computer when starting, so now it doesn't start any more.
    So, I finally burned an ISO recovery disk, and I use recovery tools by booting from a CD.  I have a system of two days, which has the chance to restore.  However, he says that the disc is damaged.  To restore, I must check the C drive.  However, I can't check that right now, because it is in use.  So I have to schedule a check disk for the next boot.
    However, the next time I start, it starts on the hard drive and then returns to the black screen - the original problem.  So, I have to turn it off and try something else.
    I'm really close, it seems and the files are there, I can't access it.  It is quite frustrating.  What should I do?  Don't forget, I have access to a prompt from here.
    So is there a way to recover my system, or what I need to get a Vista disk and reinstall? I have all my backup files, via Ubuntu, so if I have to, I can reinstall Vista.  I would like to avoid this if possible, however.

    Hello

    ·         Remember to make changes to your computer before this problem occurred?

    ·         You get code or error messages when you start the computer?

    ·         What is the brand and model of the computer?

    ·         You're able to boot in safe mode?

     

    Method 1:

    Try to use the last good known Configuration if you can't start Windows, but it started correctly the last time you have turned on the computer.
