   |  | | Restore and Recover Fuzzy datafiles | Restore and Recover Fuzzy datafiles 2006-05-25 - By Ian Cary (C)
There is a parameter
_allow_resetlogs_corruption=TRUE
That may allow you to open a database that has fuzzy datafiles. I've seen it work when a database has been cloned but someone (not me) had forgotten to issue a begin backup command. I used it to force the database to open as I was sure-ish no work had been done while the datafiles had been copied. Every thing seemed Okay especially as it was only a test database anyhow.
I believe that if any work has been done and you try and use inconsistent data you will get an ORA-600 (See ORA-600.ora-code.com) type error however you may be able restore something by selecting around the problem i.e. identify the rows that are inconsistent and cause an ORA-600 (See ORA-600.ora-code.com) and don't select them.
Cheers,
Ian
