Oracle隐含参数:_allow_resetlogs_corruption

提示：Oracle的隐含参数只应该在测试环境或者在Oracle Support的支持下使用。
在使用_disable_logging进一步的测试中，试图通过switch logfile进行日志切换，结果重起居然报出日志文件损坏。

SQL> startup

SQL> create table t as select * from dba_users;

Table created.

SQL> select count(*) from t;

  COUNT(*)

试图通过switch logfile触发检查点:

SQL> alter system switch logfile;

System altered.


SQL> insert into t select * from t;

12 rows created.

SQL> commit;

Commit complete.

SQL> select count(*) from t;

  COUNT(*)

        24

日志文件损坏(未测试是否可以重复出现):

SQL> startup force;
ORACLE instance started.

损坏的是active的日志文件:

SQL> select * from v$log;

         2          1        158   10485760          1 NO  INACTIVE             897572310 19-OCT-05
         3          1        160   10485760          1 NO  ACTIVE               897612314 19-OCT-05

只好使用另外一个隐含参数_allow_resetlogs_corruption强制启动数据库，设置此参数之后，在数据库Open过程中，Oracle会跳过某些一致性检查，从而使数据库可能跳过不一致状态，Open打开:

SQL> alter system set "_allow_resetlogs_corruption"=true scope=spfile;

System altered.

SQL> shutdown immediate;
ORA-01109: database not open

Database dismounted.
ORACLE instance shut down.
SQL> startup mount;
ORACLE instance started.

幸运的时候数据库就可以成功Open，如果不幸可能会遇到一系列的Ora-600错误（最常见的是2662错误）此时就需要使用多种手段继续进行调整恢复。
如果注意观察alert日志，我们可能会发现类似以下日志:

Fri Jun 10 16:30:25 2005
alter database open resetlogs
Fri Jun 10 16:30:25 2005
RESETLOGS is being done without consistancy checks. This may result
in a corrupted database. The database should be recreated.
RESETLOGS after incomplete recovery UNTIL CHANGE 240677200
Resetting resetlogs activation ID 3171937922 (0xbd0fee82)

Oracle告诉我们，强制resetlogs跳过了一致性检查，可能导致数据库损坏，数据库应当重建。
不一致恢复最后恢复到的Change号是：240677200

通常使用此方法Open数据库之后，应该立即通过导出、导入重建数据库。
