Toad Training Tuesday (Toad for Oracle): How can I recover from an unplanned transaction?

Imagine a power user accidentally updates all the rows in your production table, but no one notices until the next day. What do you do? While database backups and other safeguards are crucial, bad things can still happen to good databases. Is there a recovery method beyond restoring from backup and rolling forward the right transactions? Toad® for Oracle has a little-known feature that allows you to "mine" Oracle’s redo logs.

In this session, discover how this powerful feature can save you time and frustration when recovering from unplanned database events.

Topics that will be discussed include:

• Challenges of recovering from unexpected database changes
• How Toad for Oracle can "mine" Oracle’s redo logs for recovery
• Using this feature to save time and reduce stress in recovery situations
