sinthea Posted August 9, 2009 Share Posted August 9, 2009 I was trying to calculate DBID of oracle database according to the topic http://arjudba.blogspot.com/2008/05/how-to-discover-find-dbid.html and following number 2) mechanism specified there that is using of strings keyword. My unfortunately my oracle database datafile is so big that I could not use strings keyword for searching. I used, strings datafilename_loc. It failed with big file size. What I will do now? How I can open file with strings? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
artacus Posted August 12, 2009 Share Posted August 12, 2009 Try it from stdin instead. I don't have a datafile handy to try it on, but I'd guess the dbid would be near the start of the file. head -n 100 | strings | grep DBID Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
