The RdbALTER utility provides a low-level patch capability that
allows you to repair corruption on Oracle Rdb database pages. In
addition, it allows you to relocate database root, storage area,
and snapshot files to other disks or directories.
NOTE
Oracle Rdb recommends that the RdbALTER utility be used only
as a last resort to provide a temporary patch to a corrupt
database.
Use the RdbALTER utility only after you fully understand
the internal data structure, know the information the
database should contain, and know the full effects of the
command. Because of the power of the RdbALTER utility and
the cascading effects it can have, Oracle Rdb recommends
that you experiment on a copy of the damaged database before
applying the RdbALTER utility to a production database.
The help provided with the RdbALTER utility provides complete
information on using this utility.
To invoke RdbALTER from the command level, enter the following
command:
$ RMU/ALTER
From the RdbALTER> prompt, type HELP.
