Jay - Here is a link to the Oracle documentation for what you are attempting. You'll have to patch the link back together. I don't know what your Oracle version is, but the main change with the newer version is that you can use transportable tablespaces to move the resulting tablespace back to production, while on the older Oracle versions you must use something like export/import. Well, I am glad my study for the OCP benefited you, rather than me. I'm heading home for the evening, but there are other list participants in different time zones if you hit a glitch. Best of luck.

Thanks!

Archive and redo logs, of course. Other than that, I think you are off to a promising start. Dennis Williams DBA Lifetouch, Inc. [EMAIL PROTECTED] -----Original Message----- Sent: Monday, September 09, 2002 5:04 PM To: Multiple recipients of list ORACLE-L Urgen We need to recover a table that had been truncated. Unfortunately at this time we don't have a server large enough to copy our complete backup (I know, I've been yelling about this for over a year). Can we copy just the tablespaces holding the SYS objects and the table we need, modify our create controlfile script (backed up to trace) and open it that way? I've never tried this before and it's rather urgent so I'm e-mailing while I'm still searching the Velpuri book. Any other suggestions are welcome.
