Hi list,
Thanks for the clear answer. However, this is the simple answer that is also in the manual. Yes I know it is not
directlypossible to get that data, but I am quite desparate to get the data back. If one way or another the data is
(exceptfor the 4 days we really have no data for) accessible, we will write a program to recover the data into the
productiondatabase. So if anyone of you knows about a way to access the actual data in the WAL file (or a reference
whereto find enough information to do this) I would be very happy.
Cheers,
D. Kniep
