1、案例现象
在数据库startup时，报错：
[oracle@localhost ~]$ sqlplus "/as sysdba"
SQL*Plus: Release 10.2.0.1.0 - Production on Mon Sep 19 19:31:05 2011

Connected to an idle instance.
SQL> startup

ORA-01200: actual file size of 38400 is smaller than correct size of 51200 blocks
2、问题分析
SQL> select status from v$instance;
STATUS
------------
MOUNTED
SQL>
报错说，数据文件的实际大小与正确的大小较小。
SQL> col name for a50
SQL> select file#,status,bytes/1024/1024 mb,name from v$datafile;
FILE# STATUS MB NAME
---------- ------- ---------- --------------------------------------------------
1 SYSTEM 300 /u01/u01d/system01.dbf
2 ONLINE 100 /u01/u01d/undotbs01.dbf
3 SYSTEM 400 /u01/u01d/sysaux01.dbf
4 ONLINE 25 /u01/u01d/users01.dbf

6 ONLINE 100 /u01/u01d/perfstat.dbf
7 ONLINE 10 /u01/u01d/timi01.dbf
6 rows selected.
SQL>
可以看出控制文件记录的是400M，而du -sh system01.dbf结果是301M。接着，查阅在线帮助文档：
[oracle@localhost ~]$oerr ora 01200
01200, 00000, "actual file size of %s is smaller than correct size of %s blocks"
// *Cause: The size of the file as returned by the operating system is smaller
// than the size of the file as indicated in the file header and the
// controlfile. Somehow the file has been truncated. Maybe it is the
// result of a half completed copy.
// *Action: Restore a good copy of the data file and do recovery as needed.
[oracle@localhost ~]$
可以看出，是数据文件的实际大小与控制文件和该数据文件的头部所记录的大小不同而引起的。一般是数据库异常导致的，在数据库的运行过程中，重新启动时，文件resize之后出现异常状况时都可能会遇到。下面看看怎么恢复，以打开数据库：
3、确定解决方案
首先转储数据文件头部看看：
SQL> alter session set events 'immediate trace name FILE_HDRS level 10';
Session altered.
SQL> @/u01/admin/mytools/myscripts/gettrcname.sql
TRACE_FILE_NAME
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
/u01/admin/denver/udump/denver_ora_4669.trc
SQL>
[oracle@localhost ~]$more /u01/admin/denver/udump/denver_ora_5349.trc
.....
FILE HEADER:
Software vsn=153092096=0x9200000, Compatibility Vsn=134217728=0x8000000
Db ID=4004057640=0xeea91228, Db Name='DENVER'
Activation ID=0=0x0
Control Seq=1908=0x774, File size=51200=0xc800 //可见此处的大小是51200, 而ORA-01200报告说实际大小是38400
File Number=1, Blksiz=8192, File Type=3 DATA
Tablespace #0 - SYSTEM rel_fn:1
.....
解决方案的确定：
1.如果有备份可以采用备份来恢复.
2.最坏的情况是将文件上的数据提取出来，重新加载到数据库。
3.最好的情况是通过一些特殊的手段，将该文件恢复，重新ONLINE运行。
4.通过Metalink及各种途径寻找已知的解决方案。
此时，发现根本没有任何的备份。没办法，只有使用bbed工具来非常规恢复了。
4、用BBED工具恢复
bbed就是英文block browse block edit的缩写，用来直接查看和修改数据文件数据的一个工具。在windows上没有提供这个工具，在linux上面有，需要编译：
make -f ins_rdbms.mk BBED=$ORACLE_HOME/rdbms/lib/bbed $ORACLE_HOME/bin/bbed
然后把$ORACLE_HOME/rdbms/lib加到环境变量的PATH里面，就可以直接在命令中bbed了。不过有个默认的口令blockedit。在运行bbed之前先要自己写几个配置文件：
这里假定有2个文件，分别是file.txt、par.bbd
[oracle@localhost ~]$ ls
file.txt bbed.par
[oracle@localhost ~]$ more bbed.par
blocksize=8192
listfile=/home/oracle/file
mode=edit
[oracle@localhost ~]$ more file.txt
3 /free/oracle/oradata/orcl/sysaux01.dbf 1614807040
5、恢复过程
接下来就可以使用BBED工具了：
[oracle@localhost ~]$ bbed

6、总结
ORA-01200错误的具体原因已经清楚，但是是什么导致的这次数据库故障，已无从考究。但是应该可以肯定的是，此时的数据库应该立即做个导出重建导入操作。
