Data Block Dump

Data Block Dump
A data block dump shows detailed information of the contents 
of the block for the given datafile number and the block number. It shows you 
exactly how the data is stored internally. Depending on whether it is a table or 
index segment, the data block will list the contents of rows or index keys. The 
segment header block dump will list the extent map information. The undo header 
block dump will list the free extent pool in the undo segments. You may need to 
dump the contents of the data block when investigating block corruptions. In 
addition, complex recovery situations also warrant block dumps to check the SCN 
of the block.
 
 

  
  

 
 
 
 

  
  dump出数据块的内容，里面的内容有可能不同，取决于是表段还是索引段，可能会dump出rows或是index keys。对于undo段头的块，我们可以列出free的extent pool。我们调查data block corruptions就可以通过dump数据块，在做复杂的recovery时也可以通过dump数据块来得知数据块的SCN号。

  
  
Syntax
  
  

  
  
The following methods dump the contents of the interested 
data blocks to the trace file in the UDUMP directory. Data block dumps contain 
the actual data stored in the blocks.
  
  
dump出来放在UDUMP路径下
  
  

  
  
 
Note
If your database instance has the hidden parameter _TRACE_FILES_PUBLIC set to TRUE, please remember that the trace file data can be viewed by anyone with access to your database server machine. It will compromise data security and confidentiality.
 
 

alter system dump datafile <file#> block <block#>;--提供file#与block#

alter system dump datafile <file#> block min <min_block#> block max <max_block#>;--dump出邻居的块

想dump出一个segment内的数据块：

 
 

  
  

   
   

    
    

     
     

      
      
select file_id, block_id, blocks
from   dba_extents
where  segment_name = ‘TEST’;


   FILE_ID   BLOCK_ID     BLOCKS
---------- ---------- ----------
         1      29081          8
      
      
 
       
 
        
 
         
 
          
 
           
REM ---- To dump the segment header block
alter system dump datafile 1 block 29081;


REM ---- To dump the data block next to the segment header
alter system dump datafile 1 block 29082


REM ---- To dump both the blocks at the same time
alter system dump datafile 1 block min 29081 block max 29082;
