Thanks for the response guys.

Does this mean the faked incomplete recovery is mandatory or simply recommended?

If mandatory, what does it actually achieve?

Not being lazy (well not that lazy) just don't have access to a test lab at present.

As an aside, does Oracle have documentation similar to IBM's red books describing how the product actually works rather than how it should work. I'm really after some info on the nuts and bolts on the product.

Many thanks
