Thanks!
Yes, Oracle has DUL, data unloader, and there are a couple of other companies also.

Seems like there was some discussion a while back about a tool oracle has that will do this. I don’t recall the name though..

Subject: undrop??

 

anyone know how to undrop objects after a bugger'd recovery, system tablespace is from after datafile. objects are not defined in obj$. all blocks in needed datafile show up in dba_free_space. The system tablespace is from after the drop and the datafile in question is from before the drop.

version is 9.2.0.6

after my herculean effort yesterday to hack datafiles and get this database open, I'd sure like to be able to get data out of it...

followup related question, When oracle drops a table, the entry is removed from obj$ and all the proper changes are made to UET$ and FET$. The question is, for security purposes are the blocks zeroed or scrambled or just marked as dropped? This is version 9.2.0.6.
