Oracle Database is an efficient, scalable choice for creating and maintaining large databases. The database management system uses backwards-compatible .DBF files to store large amounts of company data, and thanks to Oracle's consistent performance in highly demanding environments, it is a popular ORDBMS for financial businesses and banking institutions.
Oracle runs on a range of Linux operating systems, including Oracle Linux 4-5, Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4-5, Asianux and SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 10. The ORDBMS is often associated with Sun servers and other enterprise server products.
As with other object-relational database management systems of a similar size, Oracle uses built-in corruption protection and backup features to avoid permanent data loss. However, even on highly redundant RAID systems, media failures, user error and other factors can lead to damaged or corrupt .DBF files.
Common Oracle database errors include:
- ORA-00225 and ORA - 00227 - Usually indicates control file corruption.
- ORA-00353 - Indicates log corruption, usually with an indicator that shows the location of the corruption.
- ORA-00354 - Indicates a corrupt block header.
- ORA-00355 - Change numbers are out of order.
There are dozens of other potential error messages, which vary by Oracle DB version number. You might also see messages that indicate a failure to read a .DBF file due to sudden hardware damage, mishandled RAID rebuilds, hard drive failures and other events.
