You can restore an operational table if no light
appends occurred since the last level-0 backup.
If light appends occur to the table since the last backup, the
table is not wholly restorable. This sort of problem can also occur
if you restore from an older backup. To determine whether your table
was restored to its original state, check the message log for the
following error message:
Portions of partition partnum of table tablename
in database dbname were not logged. This partition
cannot be rolled forward.
If you see this message, the table or table fragments were not
restored to their original state. If you want full access to whatever
remains in this table, you need to alter the table to raw and then
to the desired table type. This alter operation removes inconsistencies
in the table that resulted from replaying non-logged operations
such as light appends. |
