All Features
- Extracting data straight at block level, with no Oracle database engine available.
- Automatic reverse engineering of data dictionary information if SYSTEM tablespace is available.
- Allows data recovery in case of SYSTEM tablespace and data dictionary corruption. If data dictionary is not available, data types are automatically detected.
- Allows different block size of datafiles in a single database.
- Allows conversion between various character sets, can convert CLOB, NCLOB, NVARCHAR2 column type of data to the specified character set correctly.
- Detection of tablespace number, file number and block size of datafiles.
- Export data formats including plain text or dump file (.DMP).
- Simulated dump block function to dump data blocks from datafiles.
- Recover all files functionality.
- Continue on error database export.
- SQL export
- Supports ASM
- Unload data directly from ASM disks even if the diskgroups are dismounted.
- Extract files of any type directly from ASM disks , including datafile, redo log, archive log, etc.
- In severe ASM disk corruption cases, DBForensics can scan ASM disks, extract all the datafiles (when not overwritten), and then recover all data.
- Large support of Oracle environments
- Supports Oracle RDBMS versions 7, 8i, 9i, 10g, 11g and 12c.
- Supports multiple database platforms, including AIX, LINUX, HPUX, SOLARIS, WINDOWS and so on. Supports cross-platform unloading, for example unloading AIX based datafiles on a Windows host.
- Supported data types: NUMBER, CHAR, VARCHAR2, NCHAR, NVARCHAR2, LONG, DATE, RAW, LONG RAW, BLOB, CLOB, TIMESTAMP, BINARY FLOAT, BINARY DOUBLE.
- Fully supports LOB:
- Supports CLOB, NCLOB and BLOB
- Supports CLOB big endian and little endian byte order
- Supports different chunk sizes of different LOB columns in the same table
- CLOB data are unloadable
- LOBs are exportable even if the SYSTEM tablespace is not available
- LOBs are exportable even if associated lob index is corrupted
- Supports various types of tables, including ordinary HEAP table, IOT table, CLUSTER table.
- Supports compressed table.
- Supports BigFile tablespace in Oracle 10g and above (sorts blocks by ObjectId).
- Supports 64-bit systems, supports more than 4G size of the datafiles.
- Encrypted data using the Oracle TDE
- Allows accidentally deleted data recovery
- Allows data recovery after truncate table.
- Allows data recovery after drop table
- Allows recover accidentally deleted data, even for LOB columns.
- Volume scan
- Volume scan works for ASM disk : data carving algorithm.
- Extracting files spread across multiple ASM disk is possible with the DB Forensics ASM management module.
- Recognizes ASM disks during the initialization phase of "volume scan" : cluster size , total number of clusters are automatically adjusted.
- start cluster / end cluster
- sector size / sectors per cluster can be manually adjusted.
- Tests for "linux disks" : it allows Windows to read Linux file systems natively, providing access to the file system via a drive letter
- Adding a security mechanism when the "end cluster" parameter exceeds the capacity of the disk ( linux disk ).
- Raw disk image scan. The parameter offset allows you to skip possible metadata added by some disk image software. An option allows to "guess" that offset.
- The volume scan function takes the byte order of the machine on which the scan is performed.An option allows to set it (little endian / big endian).
- Supports LOB (PAGETABLE MANAGED LOB BLOCK), chained rows and long.
- Datafile extraction by file id ( SMALL FILE TABLESPACE )
