Oracle Error ORA-38734: Flashback log is inconsistent; belongs to another database.

Oracle Error Message

ORA-38734: Flashback log is inconsistent; belongs to another database.

Reason for the Error

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

Solution

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.
