Hi all!

Working on Oracle v8i with OS as Win2k/NT.

Queries:

1.What causes Data Block Corruption.
2.How could we resolve such Data Block Corruption.
3.How could we drop corrupted datafile if no longer required.Is it possible to drop corrupted datafile.
4.With Oracle 9i,are OLAP tools like Datawarehousing,multi Dimensional databases automatically installed
or do we have to install it separately.
5.Are there any good Books,Documents available on Datawarehousing,OLAP tools like Data Mart,Data Mining,
Star Schemas.

Any recommndations on the above topics would be appreciated.

Thanks & Regards,

Amit.
