You need to be more specific. There are various forms of crashes and recovery; this may help with any questions you have Backup and Recovery Concepts.

If the true cause of the crash is due to simply the instance failure, then Oracle will automatically recover the changes associated with the transaction. When the instance is restarted, it will roll forward any data that was committed but hasn't been recorded in the datafiles and will then rollback any transactions that were still active at the time of failure.
