How can Oracle restore the data of a specific table?
To restore data from a table, you can follow the steps below:
- To start, identify the name of the table that needs data recovery and the time point for data recovery. You can use the following SQL statement to search for the table that needs recovery:
- Retrieve the table name from all tables where the table name is equal to ‘your_table_name’.
- Next, utilize a Flashback query statement to determine the specific time point from which data needs to be restored. For example, the following statement will retrieve all historical records for the specified table.
- Retrieve all the data from your_table_name at a specific timestamp.
- In this case, ‘your_table_name’ refers to the name of the table from which data needs to be restored, and ‘your_timestamp’ refers to the specific time point when the data needs to be restored.
- To restore data back to the original table, you can use the INSERT INTO SELECT statement to insert historical records into the original table. For example:
- Add the data from your specified timestamp to your table.
- If you do not want to restore the data to the original table, you can create a new table and insert the historical records into the new table. For example:
- Create a new table named new_table_name which will contain all data from your_table_name as of a specific timestamp specified as ‘yyyy-mm-dd hh24:mi:ss’.
Please note that the specific statements in the above steps may need to be adjusted based on the actual situation. Additionally, the data recovery process may require sufficient permissions and it is important to backup the relevant data to prevent data loss.
