Oracle Database does not provide any supplemental logging, which means that by default LogMiner is not usable

写在前面，在研究Oracle logmnr 的时候看到 http://www.askmaclean.com/archives/dbms_logmnr-unsupported-sqlredo.html 的文章，其中有一句

不知道maclean测试的是哪个版本的数据库，我测试的情况是可以的。

同样 对于david 的文章貌似也存在描述的不妥的情况

不知道是不是也是测试的环境不同。

还是说我的测试具有偶然性。

经过测试至少可以证明几件事情：（基于当前测试环境 Oracle 11.2）

1.必须要创建utl_file_dir，创建之后必须重启数据库。

2.即便是没有启用supplemental log，在没有其他更好的办法的时候还是可以尝试logmnr恢复特定表的特定数据。
