I don't think so. Not without your old control files. Sounds like you can only recover to your last COLD BACKUP point. Since you are using your old CONTROL FILES, they won't recognise that a failure has occured and therefore will not initiate recovery. Confimation?

As you've already found out, I disagree. You can find the procedure to do this at http://metalink.oracle.com/metalink/...T&p_id=69468.1

Thanks marist89,

Although I see that Metalink article has already been cut and pasted two posts ago. That's fine, but I like to see people reference their material and explain where they got it from.

Cheers,
