The default is DEPOSIT ROOT SPECIFICATION if no other keyword follows the DEPOSIT ROOT command. The DEPOSIT ROOT command allows a user to remove recovery-unit journal (.ruj) file references from the database root (.rdb) file, allowing access to the database. However, this action will mark the database as "eternally corrupt," which results in a warning message in all future system management (Oracle RMU) functions against the database. The database is either structurally corrupt, logically corrupt (violates a constraint), or "user-data" corrupt (for example, balance is $250.00 instead of $300.00). Removing the .ruj file references from the .rdb file permits users to attach to the database in situations where the .ruj files have been accidentally deleted. Users must realize that the database is corrupt when they attach. The database must be restored and recovered from clean backup files to guarantee the consistency of the database contents. Use the USER n RUJ_FILENAME="" clause to remove an .ruj file reference from the .rdb file. NOTE After you commit a changed .rdb file name, the database cannot be accessed until you copy it to the location (using all the necessary qualifiers for the file specification) that you specify with the DEPOSIT ROOT command. After that, users attach to the database at the new location.
