ORA-00742
ORA-00742 Log read detects lost write in thread 1 sequence 149 block 38233
In this post we will see how to solve ORA-00742: Log read detects lost write-in thread 1 sequence, You can encounter this error if your Oracle Database machine was suddenly stopped without proper shutdown command due to some unavoidable problem like Power Failure, Power cable issue, etc.
STEP1: In this step, tried to login to the database, and below is an error.
Select status from v$instance;STATUS ———– MOUNTED
Alter database open;ERROR at line 1: ORA-00742: Log read detects lost write in thread 1 sequence 149 block 38233 ORA-00372: online log 2 thread 1: ‘/u01/oradata/test01/redo02.log’
STEP2: Check the status of log file 2 in v$log & v$logfile and you can notice log group 2 is the current logfile.
SQL> Set lines 300 Set pages 3000 Col MEMBER for a60 Select * from v$logfile;
SQL> Select * from v$log;
STEP3: Try to clear the current log file most likely it will fail as group log 2 is the current logfile.
Alter database clear unarchived logfile group 2;ERROR at line 1: ORA-01624: log 2 needed for crash recovery of instance test01 (thread 1) ORA-00312: online log 2 thread 1: ‘/u01/oradata/test01/redo02.log’
STEP4: So we will try to perform manual recovery on the database, Please note since Group log 2 is current it will be not archived, and the requested archive log sequence 149 is the current redo logfile, and hence I have provided manually redo log 2 file location.
SQL> recover database until cancel;
SQL> alter database open resetlogs;ERROR at line 1 : ORA-00600: internal error code
STEP 5:
SQL> !mv /u01/oradata/test01/redo02.log /u01/oradata/test01/redo02.log
SQL> recover database using backup controlfile until cancel;
SQL> alter database open resetlogs;Database altered.
SQL> select status from v$instance;
