    Unhappy

    Hi Gurus,

    I was trying to create a new database with a cold backup of another database, when I say Startup
    force it gives an error saying that the dB name in the header doesnot match for the control file. I
    copied all the files from the cold backup to the appropriate locations for the new database.
    Can somebody suggest what or how should I go about this, appreciate your help.

    Thanks in Advance.

    The database is 8.1.7.2 on windows NT.

    Yes, you will need to rerun the "create controlfile ..." statement to create a new database. Don't forget to create a new pfile and change references for controlfiles to new locations and change references in create controlfile statement to new file locations.

    For example, to create a database based off of my backup directory.

    startup nomount;

    CREATE CONTROLFILE SET DATABASE "newDB" RESETLOGS NOARCHIVELOG
    MAXLOGFILES 255
    MAXLOGMEMBERS 2
    MAXDATAFILES 999
    MAXINSTANCES 8
    MAXLOGHISTORY 1588
    LOGFILE
    GROUP 1 (
    '/ora_bkup/u06/oradata/XLAW7/redoXLAW701.log'
    ) SIZE 1500M,
    GROUP 2 (
    '/ora_bkup/u07/oradata/XLAW7/redoXLAW702.log'
    ) SIZE 1500M,
    GROUP 3 (
    '/ora_bkup/u08/oradata/XLAW7/redoXLAW703.log'
    ) SIZE 1500M
    DATAFILE
    '/ora_bkup/u02/oradata/XLAW7/system01.dbf',
    '/ora_bkup/u03/oradata/XLAW7/rbs01.dbf',
    '/ora_bkup/u03/oradata/XLAW7/temp01.dbf',
    '/ora_bkup/u02/oradata/XLAW7/tools01.dbf',
    '/ora_bkup/u02/oradata/XLAW7/users01.dbf',
    '/ora_bkup/u03/oradata/XLAW7/schema.dbf'
    CHARACTER SET US7ASCII;

    alter database open resetlogs;

    You should change REUSE to SET and NORESETLOGS to RESETLOGS as was suggested by MOLONEDE in controlfile.

    Then you should be able to restart the database.

    Thanks

    Thanks for both Doug and Kishore Kumar, for yoou prompt reply. I was able to create the database.
    But it says system01.dbf needs more recovery. I don't know what this means.

    try this:
    startup mount
    when database is mounted:
    recover database;
    when media recovery complete message is seen
    alter database open;
    database gets opened.

    If you do not think other wise i have some ?s.
    (1) are u doing it on the same machine or not
    (2) what all files u copied.
    (3)what is necessacity of creating control file when database is created using coldbackup.

    a simple thing is being complicated????

    Hi Sonofsita,

    Thanks for your help, I need to do this because the other database cannot be shut down. I was creating another
    dB for TEST environment.

    Cool

    you should try this command:

    startup mount;
    recover database using backup controlfile until cancel;

    once you are asked for the log file, you key in 'cancel', then recovery completed and

    alter database open;

    hi xiaomao,
    please never try that when you have recreated the control file.
