“Oracle Salvage” is the only commercially available tool that can read rows directly out of an Oracle data file without an Oracle instance running. Oracle Salvage maybe the difference between keeping a production database up and current or having to revert to a backup - losing more valuable uptime and current data.
Oracle Salvage can also be used in non-crisis situations as a method of extracting data from production Oracle data files but in a non-production environment. For example, instead of running the resource intensive bulk unload on the production machine, a database administrator can simply take one of the data file backups he just made, move it to the non-production machine, and then, using osalvage, perform the bulk unload on the non-production machine.
