    Oracle Error Message

    ORA-01205: not a data file – type number in header is string

    Reason for the Error

    The file type in the header is not correct for a data file. This is probably a log file or control file. If the type is not a small non-zero positive number then the header is corrupted.

    Solution

    Restore a copy of the correct data file and do recovery as needed.
