Title: Chapter 15 Backup and Recovery Concepts
Course: Dept MC - ORACLE DATABASE STRUCTURE & DATA WAREHOUSING

Perhaps the most important aspect of a database administrator’s job is to ensure that
the database does not lose data. The mechanisms of redo and undo ensure that it is
impossible to corrupt the database no matter what the DBA does, or does not, do
(always assuming that there is no physical damage). After working through the section of this
chapter headed Instance Recovery, you will be able to prove this. However, it is possible for an
Oracle database to lose data if the DBA does not take appropriate precautions.
