But you assume too much. We have three copies of our production system to three different test/dev/playground databases. First, is our nightly hot backup that gets started up as a new instance (on the prod server) for our users as a playground after the datafiles are put to tape. Second is our weekly test backup to a dev server. And third is an on-demand (quarterly or less) copy to the dev area on the dev server. And, no I don't think this scheme is necessarily a good idea, but I've been out-voted many times.
And all this is why I'm making a very flexible set of Perl scripts -- to handle these situations and more with less maintenance work in the long-run. :) Rich Jesse System/Database Administrator [EMAIL PROTECTED] Quad/Tech International, Sussex, WI USA > -----Original Message----- > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] > Sent: Thursday, April 11, 2002 3:03 PM > To: Multiple recipients of list ORACLE-L > Subject: Re: Is DATAFILE order important in CREATE CONTROLFILE? > > > > Order of files in alter system backup... does not matter. > Wow using Perl > to do this when then procedure is documented a 1000 times > over.
