Answer : [E]
Explanation :
Explanation :
In this situation, you have gotten yourself in real trouble and you will have data loss. First you will need to restore the last full database backup and also all archived redo logs that were generated during the backup and since the backup was completed. You will then issue the startup mount command to mount the database, and then issue the recover database until cancel command. Apply all the archived redo logs you can. Then cancel the recovery and open the database using the alter database open resetlogs command. |
