    Just a try

    Hi

    Just a try :

    Does anyone observed problem with syntax. there is no gap between datafile and its name ---o---


    alter database recover datafile'/export/home/u03/oradata/noya/system01.dbf' using
    -----o-----
    backup controlfile;


    check it out and revert.

    I think the way to go with that is...
    if you have archive logging on then the binary ctl file will work but if you dont have archiving then you will have to cp the backup binary ctl file to its respective directories.

    svmgrl
    startup mount
    alter database backup control file to trace
    shutdown immediate

    delete the control files you just created then run the trace file in as .sql. I just did this scenario at work and I got it right. you can drop me a line if you got a ?

    EVEN IF you are in archivelog mode, you still have to do the same steps you said here. I have NEVER been able to open the database successfully by restoring the binary backup of the controlfile. (even the other stuff are intact)

    Please confirm with your thought. Thank you.

    This is cut & pasted from Oracle Docs

    I can recover the database without using NORESETLOGS in the above statement.

    can u tell me PANDO when exactly this RESETLOGS/ NORESETLOGS come into picture.

    i think only if database in ARCHIVE LOG MODE i'm i right. or i'm missing something

    Hi,

    Whenever u do a INCOMPLETE RECOVERY then u should use RESETLOGS. INCOMPLETE RECOVERY
    is possible only when the database is running in ARCHIVELOG.

    Also when u rename your database you should open the database with RESETLOGS.

    Oracle Doc said:

    "The RESETLOGS option is required after incomplete media recovery OR recovery using a backup control file."
