drop database ... something I would have never thought I 'd use 2005-02-18 - By Paul Drake
A failure of a hardware RAID controller (driver, perhaps) caused this (along with GBs of trace files):
Fri Feb 18 20:15:45 2005 Running with 1 strand for Non-Enterprise Edition Running without dynamic strand for Non-Enterprise Edition Fri Feb 18 20:15:45 2005 Starting ORACLE instance (normal) Fri Feb 18 20:15:46 2005 ORACLE Instance easdev (pid = 7) - Error 1578 encountered while recovering transaction (4, 2). Fri Feb 18 20:15:46 2005 Errors in file d:\oracle\admin\easdev\bdump\easdev_smon_3400.trc: ORA-01578 (See ORA-01578.ora-code.com): ORACLE data block corrupted (file # 2, block # 20551) ORA-01110 (See ORA-01110.ora-code.com): data file 2: 'K:\ORACLE\ORADATA\FODDER\UNDOTBS01.DBF'
Here is a fix for block corruption:

Its quite amazing that a database, healthy or otherwise, can be dropped in under a minute."Gone in 60 seconds ..."
I knew about the feature, I just thought that I would never use it. Obviously, this is not a production system. It is useful for testing backups, though.
