I think that if you have properly architected your systems that the possibility of loosing both the recovery catalog database AND the control file of a given database is sufficiently low. If the infrastructure it properly configured, then you are talking a very rare event. However, assume an

Thanks for the reply. That covers the object/data_object id problem, and gives the ability to identify which columns in the dump are the primary key columns. But when you update a row, the redo will only contain the primary key if the primary key has been modified, so you should hardly ever find

Archivelogs can be verified for corruption using a standby database (a.k.a. Data Guard), Log Miner, or the undocumented ALTER SYSTEM DUMP LOGFILE logfile-name command, but why bother? It takes far more effort to implement one of these mechanisms (except standby) for every single archivelog
