    Rman Q !!

    Is there a command to unregister a db from the catalog -
    besides the
    EXECUTE dbms_rcvcat.unregisterdatabase(db_key, db_id)
    method ?
    i.e why did'nt Oracle think of
    UNREGISTER DATABASE ?
    or is it in 10g?

    Also any links to doc. on dbms_rcvman & dbms_rcvcat,dbms_backup_restore ??

    Dunno about 10g.

    My 1 cent.
    A database possibly has multiple incarnations. If they had a "unregister database" a novice dba might blow away all the incarnations. Just 'theorizing'..

    In anycase, what's so difficult/complicated about "EXECUTE dbms_rcvcat.unregisterdatabase(db_key, db_id)". It is an equivally simple command in my opinion.

    As for links - It is all documented in the RMAN user guide.

    From 10g doc
    Unregistering a Database: Example
    In this example, you connect to the target database test1 and then unregister it:

    rman TARGET SYS/oracle@test1 CATALOG rman/rman@catdb

    RMAN> UNREGISTER DATABASE NOPROMPT;

    only 10g

    Tx pando - confirmed my suspicions - Oracle is still upto it's old tricks of creating/jumping on a buzz & selling ->

    v.7-8 -> "Best" relational d/b
    v.8i -> Internet d/b..
    v.9i -> Prime time for web d/b,RAC,HA/MA...blah blah
    v.10g -> Grid..more blah blah

    Why not have unregister db in 9i - probably product dev. was too rushed to deliver/release mgmt. guys screwed up..and the 10g guys put it in?
