To test our Oracle backup & recovery process, I would like to simulate some common fail case scenarios. Any suggestions?

The two most common ones that we've seen in production:

  • Unexpected power outage during writes
    • To make this more critical, run RAID5, remove your battery backup but leave write caching turned ON. This will virtually guarantee corruption
  • Accidentally drop a critical system table
