Inspect redo before recovery

Open redo logs locally, review SCN ranges, identify operations, and inspect SQL_REDO without starting the damaged database.

  • Open logsLoad online or archived redo files.
  • Query changesFilter by SCN, object, operation, or XID.
  • Export evidenceSave SQL_REDO or CSV for analysis.
Oracle Dump Reader

Browse EXP and EXPDP files

Preview dump contents, run lightweight SQL over dump metadata and rows, then export selected results to CSV.

  • Export CSVExtract query results locally.

Common Recovery Scenarios

DBRECOVER has helped thousands of organizations recover from critical database failures. Here are some common scenarios where DBRECOVER excels.

If you are designing prevention before an outage, start with the Oracle DR solution guide to compare RMAN, Data Guard, Flashback, cloud standby, ransomware protection, and runbook testing by RPO/RTO.

  • No Backup Available When RMAN backups are missing or corrupted, extract data directly
  • Accidental DROP TABLE Recover dropped tables when flashback is not available
  • Hardware Failure Extract data from partially readable storage devices
  • Ransomware Attack Recover data from encrypted or partially damaged files
Dropped Table Recovery - GUI Steps
Typical failure SQL> DROP TABLE important_data PURGE;
Flashback is unavailable or undo retention has expired.
Old table extents may still remain in datafiles.
  1. 1 Open the relevant datafiles Load SYSTEM metadata if available, then add the tablespace datafiles that held the dropped table.
  2. 2 Scan dropped objects Use Tools > Scan Dropped Objects to locate old segments and candidate table names.
  3. 3 Verify the candidate table Find IMPORTANT_DATA, preview rows, and compare columns against the application schema.
  4. 4 Export recoverable data Recover the table to SQL or CSV, then reload into a clean Oracle database for validation.
Recovery proof: 523,847 rows recovered from surviving table extents.

Evidence You Can Verify Before Purchase

Use the trial to produce your own evidence before paying: table visibility, row counts, previewed records, and export readiness can be checked on your damaged files without uploading your database.

Trial Verification Flow

  • 1. Open filesSYSTEM.DBF and target datafiles
  • 2. ScanDictionary or non-dictionary mode
  • 3. PreviewConfirm table structures and sample rows
  • 4. CountUse Examine Records Count before purchase

Anonymous Case

ORA-01194 Without Backup

A production database could not open after incomplete recovery. DBRECOVER scanned the remaining datafiles and exported business tables to SQL.

Outcome: core tables exported for rebuild.

Anonymous Case

ASM Metadata Damage

ASM access was unstable after storage failure. The recovery workflow focused on readable datafile extents and table-level extraction.

Outcome: readable tables recovered locally.

Anonymous Case

Ransomware Partial Encryption

Some datafile blocks were encrypted while other blocks remained readable. The trial preview identified which tables still had recoverable rows.

Outcome: recoverable rows verified before purchase.
