Recovering From a Lost Or Damaged Control Area

Use the PROSTRCT BUILDDB utility to recover when an existing database control area (DB) is lost or damaged. The utility re-creates a control area from the structure description (ST) file of an existing database. For example:

prostrct builddb db-name structure-description-file 

PROSTRCT BUILDDB uses the following parameters:

db-name

Specifies the database you are using.

structure-description-file

Specifies the existing structure description (ST) file. If a structure description file is not specified, PROSTRCT BUILDDB assumes the name is db-name.st.

PROSTRCT BUILDDB does only minimal validation of the resulting control area.
