That would certainly work, although the time your typing, the datafile may
have changed, and thus your aborting older transactions. That is if vi can
even open the file as it has file open limits.

I would like to simulate the corruption and recovery of a datafile on my
development database. How can I corrupt the file and initiate recovery while
the database is online? I was thinking I could open the file in VI while the
database had it open and append some random characters to it, but would like
to hear any other suggestions others may have.
Thanks
Erik
