Small addition: 1 can be flipped to 0 of course as well.

Flipping a 1 to 2, requires 2 bits to be flipped :)
If you already noticed the checksum parameter, then just go to
tahiti.oracle.com , click parameters link and search a short description
from there.

How does oracle handle bit errors creeping into datafiles which could flip a '1' value
in a field to a '2'. I noticed checksum parameter. is that what its used for?
if that isnt enabled what does oracle do?
