ORA-38734

Flashback log is inconsistent; belongs to another database.

Cause

The database ID in the flashback database log file did not match the database ID in the control file.


Action

If you are doing a FLASHBACK DATABASE, then the flashback cannot be performed because of the corrupted log. A restore and an incomplete recovery must be performed instead.
