QUESTION POSED ON: 24 June 2005
I'm using Oracle 9.0.1.0.1 on Win2K Professional. Yesterday I ran SQL*Loader to load 1.93 GB of data into various tables and suddenly a power failure occurred. At the next startup I was met with the following error: ORA-01033: Oracle initialization or shutdown in progress. For its solution I checked user dump files and found that due to the following errors, the above error is resulting:

ORA-00396: error 397 required fallback to single-pass recovery
ORA-00397: lost write detected for file 2, block 214364
Please help me rectify all of this.

You'll have to recover this file from a backup and perform recovery on your database. File #2 has become corrupt. It is a good thing you have your backup to fall back on! File #2 is typically your Undo (or Rollback) tablespace or your Temp tablespace.
